stop_indi_driver

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

No annotations provided; description only states the action without disclosing side effects, whether the stop is graceful or forceful, or any safety implications. For a stop operation, more transparency is needed.

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?

Single sentence directly conveying the purpose with no extraneous words. Front-loaded with action and target.

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, the description omits any mention of return values or confirmation. Does not state prerequisites (e.g., driver must be running) or resulting state. Incomplete for a stop 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?

The single parameter 'label' is described only as 'catalog label', which echoes the schema. Schema coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain what a catalog label is or how to obtain it, failing to add value beyond the schema.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'stop' and resource 'running INDI driver', and specifies identification method 'catalog label'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like start_indi_driver and stop_indi_messaging.

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?

Implied usage context from the name and sibling tools, but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions.

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