disable_sentry_mode

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. It adds one useful behavioral trait: 'auto-wakes if asleep'. However, it does not describe any other side effects, prerequisites, or response behavior, which is a gap for a mutating command.

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, efficient sentence that conveys the core action and a key behavior. There is no redundant or extraneous information.

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 simple command with well-documented parameters, the description is largely adequate. It clearly states the action and mentions the auto-wake behavior. However, without an output schema or annotation, it could benefit from clarifying what happens on success or failure, making it slightly incomplete.

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?

The schema covers all 3 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the description does not need to add parameter details. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, matching the baseline of 3.

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 tool disables Sentry Mode with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'enable_sentry_mode' by explicitly using 'Disables' instead of 'Enables'.

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 the tool is used when you want to turn off Sentry Mode, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives like 'wake_vehicle' or 'enable_sentry_mode'. No exclusions or alternative references are given.

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