Connect Wi-Fi presence bus

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

The annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds the list of scaffold components but does not disclose side effects, whether it modifies existing components, or any prerequisites. It only restates the creation action with slightly more detail, so minimal behavioral insight.

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 that gets straight to the point, listing the expected components. No wasted words.

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?

For a tool with 9 optional parameters and no output schema, this one-sentence description is insufficient. It doesn't explain the parameters, what the scaffold looks like, or any behavioral considerations. The component list gives a hint but leaves many important details unaddressed.

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 description coverage is low (22%; only name and parent_path have descriptions). The description mentions 'dwell buckets' and 'adapter source', which weakly correspond to dwell_bucket_count and adapter_url/adapter_mode, but it does not explain any parameter's purpose, defaults, or constraints. It fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.

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 uses a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('Wi-Fi presence scaffold') and enumerates key components (aggregate occupancy rows, dwell buckets, privacy policy, adapter source, device-privacy notes), making the tool's function clear. However, the tool name says 'connect' while description says 'create', and it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling bus-creation tools, so a slight deduction.

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, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. It simply states what it does without context.

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