Unmute source

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It merely states 'Unmute an audio source' with zero detail on side effects, prerequisites (e.g., source must exist or be muted), required permissions, or the role of the 'confirm' parameter. This is a minimal, non-informative statement.

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 short, but it is under-specified rather than concise. It contains only one sentence that essentially restates the tool name, lacking any additional useful content. It does not earn its place by adding value.

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?

For a mutation tool with no annotations and no schema coverage, this description is seriously inadequate. It provides no context about return values, side effects, or error conditions, even though an output schema exists and could have been referenced. The description is far from complete for an AI agent to invoke the tool safely and correctly.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description mentions none of the two parameters ('source_name' and 'confirm'). The description fails entirely to compensate for the missing schema semantics, leaving parameter meaning unexplained.

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 states a specific verb ('Unmute') and resource ('audio source'), making the core purpose clear. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling tool 'mute_source' beyond the obvious inverse relationship, so it lacks explicit sibling differentiation.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to use 'mute_source' or other audio tools). The description only states the action without contextual usage cues.

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