put_wifi_config

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'Update' implying mutation and lists many error codes, which hint at failure modes. However, it does not describe side effects, required permissions, or reversibility of the update.

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 and front-loaded with the purpose. The list of error codes, though lengthy, provides useful information. It is efficient without unnecessary verbosity.

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 existence of an output schema (not shown) and the tool's 2 well-documented parameters, the description still lacks context about what WifiGlobalConfig is and how it relates to other WiFi tools. It does not help the agent decide between this and sibling tools like put_wifi_ap_id.

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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema descriptions for 'enabled' and 'mac_filter_state'. It does not explain how these parameters affect the global config.

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 verb 'Update' and the resource 'WifiGlobalConfig', making the core action obvious. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like put_wifi_ap_id or put_wifi_bss_id, which also update WiFi-related configurations.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as other WiFi put tools. It lacks context for prerequisites, when to use, or when not to use it.

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