Fl Open Event Editor

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of transparency. It states the action 'open' but does not disclose potential side effects, required permissions, or whether the operation is read-only or modifying (e.g., whether it changes state or just displays). No information about return values or success/failure indicators is given.

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 concise and front-loaded, immediately identifying the action and target. It uses a compact list for parameter values, avoiding unnecessary verbosity while remaining clear and direct.

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 simple UI action like opening an editor, the description is generally complete: it identifies the object and the parameter. It lacks explicit mention of outcomes (e.g., opening a window) or error cases, but these are not critical for such a straightforward tool. Given the absence of an output schema, this level of detail is adequate.

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 description adds semantic value by explaining the 'param' parameter with a list of valid values (volume, pan, pitch, filter_cut, filter_res, p<plugin param index>). However, the 'channel' parameter is not described beyond its existence; its role as a channel identifier is implied but not clarified. Schema coverage is 100% for required fields, but only half of the parameters are meaningfully described in prose.

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 action ('Open the automation (event) editor') and specifies the resource ('channel parameter'), with explicit enumeration of valid parameter values. This distinguishes it from related tools like fl_channel_steps or fl_param_scan, making its purpose unambiguous.

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?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not name any sibling tools or give conditions for selection, leaving the agent to infer usage context from the description alone.

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