track_fx_set_param

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does not disclose permissions, persistence, undo behavior, or side effects of changing a plugin parameter. The only behavioral hint is that the value is typically normalized and min/max should be checked.

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 short and front-loads the purpose. The 'Args' section is compact and relevant, though it could be slightly clearer about which parameters it covers.

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 tool requiring four parameters with no schema descriptions, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is significantly incomplete. It omits documentation for three required parameters and gives no usage context or return behavior.

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 description coverage is 0%, and four parameters are required. The description only explains the 'value' parameter (new value, often normalized 0-1, check min/max). The roles of track_index, fx_index, and param_index are completely undocumented in both schema and description.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Set a parameter value on an FX plugin.' This is clear, but it could also describe the sibling take_fx_set_param, so there is no explicit differentiation between track FX and take FX.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings such as track_fx_get_param or take_fx_set_param. It only hints at checking min/max for the value, which is a parameter constraint rather than usage context.

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