seerr_create_settings_notifications_telegram

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

The description explicitly states 'WRITE: this modifies your Seerr instance', which adds behavioral clarity beyond the readOnlyHint=false annotation. However, it does not disclose details like required permissions, reversibility, or side effects beyond the general modification.

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 that front-loads the purpose. It is free of filler and gets to the point, though it sacrifices 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?

Given the large set of sibling tools and the completely unhelpful input schema, the description is insufficient. It does not describe the expected body content, nor does it differentiate between creating, updating, or testing Telegram settings, making it hard for an agent to use correctly without external knowledge.

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 a single generic 'body' object with additionalProperties=true and no property descriptions. The description provides no information about what fields should be included or what the body structure should look like, leaving the agent completely in the dark about parameters.

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 'Update Telegram notification settings' with a specific verb and resource. However, the tool name says 'create' while the description says 'update', creating some ambiguity, but the intended action is clear.

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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The 'WRITE' label implies a mutating operation, but it does not explicitly mention list or test siblings or any prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer usage from context.

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