aedt_release_session

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

No annotations provided; description gives no behavioral details. It does not disclose what 'release' means in terms of session state, project handling, or destructiveness. Parameters like close_projects and close_desktop are not mentioned.

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 single sentence is concise but underspecifies the tool. It front-loads the purpose but omits essential context about parameters and behavior, making it less useful.

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?

Given the presence of two parameters and an output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the outcome of releasing a session or the effect of the parameters, leaving the agent without complete context.

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 does not explain the two boolean parameters (close_projects, close_desktop). The description fails to compensate for the missing parameter information.

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?

Description clearly states 'Release the active AEDT session' with a specific verb 'Release' and identifies the resource 'active AEDT session'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like aedt_start_session or aedt_open_project.

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 alternatives. For example, it does not mention that it should be used after finishing work with a session, nor does it exclude scenarios where projects or desktop should be kept open.

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