radarr_grab_queue_item

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false, so the write nature is known. The description adds 'forces the download client to fetch it' and a WRITE warning, providing some additional context beyond annotations. However, it doesn't disclose side effects like whether the download starts immediately or any prerequisites.

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 two short sentences and front-loads the core action. Every word contributes to understanding the operation and its side effects.

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 simple one-parameter tool with an output schema, the description captures the essential action but omits clarification of the 'id' parameter and any usage alternatives. The presence of annotations covers the write behavior, but the overall completeness is adequate but not thorough.

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 schema has one required integer 'id' with no description, and overall schema description coverage is 0%. The tool description does not explain what 'id' refers to (e.g., the queue item ID), leaving the agent to infer from the tool name. This is insufficient compensation for the lack of schema documentation.

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's function: 'Grab the queued item now (forces the download client to fetch it).' It uses a specific verb ('Grab') and identifies the resource ('queued item'), distinguishing it from bulk operations like radarr_grab_queue_bulk.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives such as radarr_grab_queue_bulk for multiple items or radarr_list_queue for viewing. It implies immediate download of a single queued item but provides no exclusion or alternative guidance.

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