set_ocio_display

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Without annotations, the description should disclose side effects, permissions, or state changes. It only mentions inserting a node, but doesn't clarify if existing transforms are replaced, if the operation is reversible, or any required authentication.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is brief and front-loaded with the purpose. The Args section is cleanly structured with examples, no unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is simple with two parameters, and an output schema exists. However, lack of usage guidelines and behavioral transparency makes it incomplete for an AI agent to fully understand its effects.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description provides meaningful examples for both parameters (display and view), adding context beyond the schema's titles.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Set the OCIO display transform') and explains it inserts an OCIODisplay node. This is specific and distinct among siblings, though no explicit differentiation is made.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus other OCIO-related tools like set_ocio_colorspace or set_ocio_look. The Args section only describes parameters, not usage context.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
