sonarr_grab_queue_item

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

Annotations already signal readOnlyHint=false, indicating a write. The description adds an explicit warning 'WRITE: this modifies your Sonarr instance' and describes the forcing behavior. However, it omits potential side effects, error conditions, or reversibility. Adds some value beyond annotations but not comprehensive.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action, no redundant words. The WRITE warning earns its place, and the parenthetical explains the effect. Perfectly concise for the tool's simplicity.

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 low-complexity tool with an output schema, the description covers the core action and warns about side effects. It misses explicit parameter mapping and usage alternatives, but the schema and simplicity compensate. Overall complete enough for an agent to invoke 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 0% description coverage, so description must compensate. It mentions 'queued item', implying the id parameter identifies the queue entry to grab, but does not explicitly say 'id is the queue item ID'. With only one parameter, the meaning is reasonably inferable, but not guaranteed.

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 'Grab' with an explicit resource 'queued item' and explains the effect 'forces the download client to fetch it'. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like list_queue (read) or delete_queue (removal).

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 provide when-to-use guidance or mention alternatives. It implies use when you want to force an immediate grab, but there is no explicit exclusions or decision guidance versus sonarr_grab_queue_bulk or other queue operations.

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