set_executor_mode

Switch between terse, execution-only responses and detailed explanations. Use when the user requests a change in response style.

Instructions

Turn "executor mode" (concise, no-narration responses) on or off. ON by default.

Args: enabled: False to switch to normal, explanatory responses for the rest of the conversation — call this when the user asks you to explain more / stop being so terse. True to switch back to terse/execution-only responses (already the default at the start of every conversation, so you only need this to undo a previous enabled=False).

Concise responses are the standing default from the very first turn (see the server's own instructions) — you do not need to call this at conversation start. Call it only when the user explicitly asks to change the response style, in either direction — phrases like "explain more", "stop being so terse" -> enabled=False; "be quick", "mode exécutant" again after asking for explanations -> enabled=True.

This does NOT silence errors or safety confirmations — always report a failed command or a "confirmed: false" honestly, briefly, even in executor mode.

Behavior5/5

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

Despite no annotations, description discloses full behavioral impact: toggles narration, and crucially states it does not silence errors or safety confirmations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with key purpose, well-organized with paragraphs for different aspects, but somewhat verbose with repetitions; still very effective.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple boolean toggle, description covers default behavior, when to invoke, edge cases, and exceptions (errors/safety), leaving no gaps.

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

Parameters5/5

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

With 0% schema coverage, description fully explains the single boolean parameter: True/False meanings and usage scenarios, going beyond just typing.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states 'Turn executor mode (concise, no-narration responses) on or off.' Identifies the specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from sibling get_executor_mode.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says call only when user asks to change response style, provides concrete examples for True/False, and notes it's unnecessary at conversation start.

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