lattice.set

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

No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only says 'set one RNA property' without mentioning side effects, what happens if the property doesn't exist, whether it's a write operation, or any required permissions. This is insufficient for safe invocation.

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 a single sentence, which is concise but comes at the cost of important details. It could be longer to include usage notes without losing conciseness.

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 absence of annotations, output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is far from complete. It fails to explain how to specify the property, the format of the value, or any constraints, leaving the agent with insufficient information to invoke the tool correctly.

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%, meaning the description should explain parameters. It does not. The parameter titles in the schema are minimal ('New value as JSON', 'Lattice object to edit', 'Lattice data property') but the description adds no further meaning, making it hard for an agent to correctly format values or identify the object.

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 states the tool sets one RNA property on lattice data, clearly indicating the action and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like lattice.create (creation) and lattice.point_set (specific point manipulation), though it could be more explicit about modifying an existing lattice.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like lattice.point_set or property-setting tools for other object types. There are no context cues for appropriate usage.

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