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

Discloses asyncio.gather execution model and 'resolves once' timing, but lacks error handling semantics (fail-fast vs partial success) or state requirements.

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?

Front-loaded purpose statement followed by behavioral note and structured Args section; no redundant filler.

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?

Adequate for basic invocation given output schema exists, but omits error handling, network requirements, and TV state prerequisites.

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?

Comprehensively documents all 7 parameters with valid values (e.g., platform enums) and relationships (tv_names vs group), compensating for 0% schema description coverage.

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?

Clearly states multi-TV playback with 'simultaneously' and 'party mode' distinguishing it from single-TV siblings like tv_play, though could explicitly mention synchronization behavior.

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 versus tv_play/tv_launch for single TVs, or when to prefer tv_names vs group parameters.

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