add_dashboard_toggle_button

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and delivers almost nothing: it does not say what gets created, where the button lands, what happens to existing dashboard content, or whether target_parameters/target_worksheets scope the toggle. Only 'native button' hints at the artifact.

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?

A single short sentence with no waste, but its brevity comes from under-specification rather than efficient editing; it is front-loaded only in the trivial sense of being one clause long.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, but a 7-parameter creation tool with zero annotation coverage and no parameter documentation is far too thin. The agent cannot determine placement, captioning, or scoping behavior from this definition.

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?

Seven parameters with 0% schema description coverage and the description mentions none of them; position, caption_shown, caption_hidden, initially_hidden, target_parameters and target_worksheets are entirely undocumented in both schema and prose. No compensation for the coverage gap.

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 conveys the effect ('Show/hide a dedicated dashboard sheet container with a native button') but never states the actual action verb, which is 'add' a toggle button to a dashboard like the name implies. It is distinguishable from generic siblings like add_dashboard_action, but the resource and operation are only implied rather than stated.

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?

No when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, no mention of alternatives such as add_dashboard_action or add_dashboard_extension despite several closely related siblings. The agent gets no routing information at all.

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