put_pvr_quota

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only says 'Request next quota threshold' and lists error codes. It does not disclose if the operation is destructive, idempotent, or requires permissions, nor what side effects occur beyond automatic adjustment.

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 front-loads the purpose but includes an extensive list of error codes (20+), which bloats the text. A shorter summary or reference to documentation would be more concise.

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?

Despite having an output schema (context says true), the description does not describe the return value or behavior. It misses prerequisites, side effects, and call context, leaving the agent under-informed for a mutation tool.

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 coverage is 0%, and the description says no arguments needed, which is helpful but fails to explain the optional 'body' parameter. The schema allows a free-form object, but the description gives no guidance on its structure or purpose.

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 tool requests the next quota threshold, which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like put_pvr_config and put_pvr_finished_id by its focus on quota, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate in text.

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 mentions no arguments are needed and the quota adjusts automatically, implying a simple use case. However, it does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_pvr_quota for checking quota or other put_pvr_* tools.

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