android_notification_open

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

The description says only 'open' and does not disclose side effects, such as launching an app or changing foreground state, beyond the coarse destructiveHint annotation; no additional behavioral context is provided.

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 a single concise sentence with no redundant or irrelevant content.

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?

Key contextual information is missing: how to retrieve the notification key, what the tool returns, and when to use it instead of notification dismissal or reply, leaving the description incomplete for reliable invocation.

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?

The schema only defines 'key' as a required string, and the description does not explain what the key represents, where to obtain it, or its format, so parameter meaning is largely under-specified.

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 specific action—opening an active notification—and the required identifier, distinguishing it from related tools like dismiss or reply.

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 is provided about when to choose this tool over alternatives such as android_notification_dismiss or android_notification_reply; the description states the operation but not the intended use context.

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