cmw_wlan_fetch_power

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It only says 'fetch', implying a read operation, but does not explain whether triggering is required beforehand, what data structure is returned, or any side effects. This is minimal transparency for a measurement tool.

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 concise sentence with no filler. However, the brevity comes at the cost of essential details, making it under-specified rather than efficiently complete.

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 lack of annotations, no output schema, and sparse description, the tool is not sufficiently contextualized. It does not mention return values, required instrument state, or how this relates to the WLAN measurement flow, leaving agents with too little information to use it effectively.

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 input schema has only 33% coverage (only meas_instance has a description), and the tool description does not elaborate on host, port, or meas_instance usage. The description adds no parameter-level semantics, leaving most parameters underspecified.

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 tool fetches WLAN TX power measurement results, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate it from sibling tools like cmw_wlan_fetch_all or cmw_meas_fetch_power, which have overlapping purposes.

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 instead of alternatives such as the generic cmw_meas_fetch_power or the comprehensive cmw_wlan_fetch_all. The description does not mention any prerequisites, setup steps, or exclusions.

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