Behavior2/5

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

Beyond the action 'disable', no behavioral details are disclosed. There are no annotations (e.g., destructiveHint), so the description should cover safety, reversibility, or side effects, but it does not.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is maximally concise with one short sentence. It prioritizes clarity without fluff, though more detail could be beneficial.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having an output schema and a simple input, the description lacks completeness. It does not mention return values, error conditions, or any context about what disabling entails, making it insufficient for an agent.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description does not explain the 'name' parameter or any constraints. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to add meaning beyond the parameter name, leaving the agent uninformed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Disable a scheduled task' is a clear verb+resource pair, directly stating the action and object. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like scheduled_tasks_enable and scheduled_tasks_create.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to disable rather than enable or create). There are no prerequisites, edge cases, or exclusions mentioned.

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