sonar_remedy_configure_project

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits on its own; it usefully states that the token is NOT stored and that the operation is non-interactive. It does not disclose whether the config is created or overwritten, where it is saved, or what other side effects may occur.

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 compact two-sentence definition with the primary action front-loaded and the security note following naturally. It contains no filler, though it leans too sparse for the tool's complexity.

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 6 required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too minimal. It omits return behavior, storage location, overwrite semantics, and any relationship to sibling tools, leaving an agent without enough context to invoke the tool confidently.

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%, so the description must compensate for the 9 undocumented parameters. It only clarifies that the token is external (SONAR_TOKEN) and does not explain any required parameters such as name, sonar_url, project_key, repo_url, local_path, or worktree_root.

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 and resource: 'Save a project's Sonar/repo config' and qualifies it with 'non-interactively,' which makes the action clear. It does not explicitly contrast with the sibling sonar_remedy_configure, but the project-level scope provides reasonable differentiation.

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 in non-interactive/automated contexts and gives an important operational note that SONAR_TOKEN must be set separately. However, it does not state when to use this tool versus sonar_remedy_configure or any other sibling, nor does it provide exclusion criteria.

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