set_approval_preference_state

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

No annotations provided; description only says 'enable or disable', which implies mutation but omits side effects, permissions, or behavior when the rule doesn't exist.

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?

Extremely concise single sentence, but it under-specifies the tool's behavior and parameters, sacrificing necessary detail for brevity.

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 presence of an output schema, the description provides no context about inputs, outputs, or behavior, making it insufficient for an agent to use 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 has 2 parameters with 0% coverage; description does not mention parameters or add meaning to 'preference_id' or 'enabled' beyond what the schema already indicates.

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 it enables or disables an auto-accept rule, aligning with the tool name. It distinguishes from sibling 'create_approval_auto_accept' (which creates) but is vague about what preference it affects.

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 on when to use this tool versus siblings like 'create_approval_auto_accept' or 'list_approval_preferences'. Context for usage is missing.

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