sonos_unsubscribe_events

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions 'stop receiving notifications' but omits whether the action is reversible, if cancellation is immediate, or any side effects on other subscriptions. Minimal behavioral disclosure.

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 sentence, concise, and front-loaded with the key action. No unnecessary words, earning its place.

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 simple nature of the tool (2 params, no output schema), the description covers the core purpose adequately. However, it lacks behavioral details that would be helpful for an agent, such as whether unsubscribing clears the subscription or just pauses it.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both deviceId and subscriptionId. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, which is adequate but not enhanced.

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 action: unsubscribe from a specific event subscription to stop notifications. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sonos_unsubscribe_all and sonos_subscribe_events, as it targets a specific subscription.

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 implies usage for stopping notifications from a specific subscription, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like sonos_unsubscribe_all or sonos_list_subscriptions. No usage context is provided.

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