autowire_buffer

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

No annotations given, but description discloses binding action, matching by name, reporting unmatched values and input controls without actions. Could mention if buffer is modified persistently, but overall strong transparency.

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?

Two sentences: first defines main action, second gives prerequisite. Front-loaded, no wasted words, well structured.

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 output schema exists, description covers high-level behavior and prerequisite. Mentions reporting but not output format; still sufficient for understanding main use.

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?

Single parameter 'event' with default 'broadcast' is not explained in description. With 0% schema coverage, description fails to add meaning, leaving agent uncertain about its role.

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 the tool binds unbound display controls to fields from last probe_service run, then reports remaining wiring needs. It uses specific verb+resource and distinguishes from siblings like probe_service.

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?

Explicitly states prerequisite 'Run probe_service first' and clarifies that input control actions require user handling ('i.e. you'). Provides clear when-to-use and differentiation.

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