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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Configure ... enable/disable', which implies a write operation but does not disclose side effects, required instrument state, error behavior, or whether the change is persisted across sessions or only applied temporarily.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word contributes to stating the tool's core operation, making it appropriately 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?

For a configuration tool with three parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It omits host/port semantics, usage prerequisites, expected return values, and interactions with other LTE tools, leaving significant gaps for an agent to resolve.

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 only 33%, with only 'enabled' having a description. The description adds minimal meaning for 'enabled' via 'enable/disable' but provides no context for the undocumented 'host' and 'port' parameters, which are likely connection details the agent would need to understand to invoke the tool correctly.

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 'Configure' and clearly identifies the resource 'Connected DRX (C-DRX)' with the scope 'enable/disable'. It distinguishes this tool from sibling LTE configuration tools like cmw_lte_configure_cell, cmw_lte_configure_nas, and cmw_lte_configure_bearer by noting the unique C-DRX resource.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites such as needing an active LTE connection or cell configuration. The description merely states the operation, leaving the agent to infer usage context from the sibling tool names.

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