set_session_record

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full transparency burden. It only states the action and the parameter meaning, but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, idempotence, permissions, or return behavior. This is a minimal disclosure.

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 extremely concise, with a single clear sentence and a brief Args section. Every word is functional, and the structure is front-loaded with the main action. No filler or redundancy.

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 one-parameter setter with an output schema, the description is essentially complete. However, it lacks context about when to use this tool or how it relates to other record-related tools. Given the low complexity, a score of 3 reflects the adequate but minimal context provided.

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 input schema only shows a boolean 'enabled' with no description. The tool description compensates by explaining 'True to enable Session Record, False to disable it', which fully clarifies the parameter's meaning. This is essential since schema coverage is 0%.

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's function: 'Enable or disable Session Record.' This is a specific verb+resource combination. While it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'set_record_mode', the name and description focus tightly on Session Record, making the purpose clear.

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 alternatives like 'get_session_record_status' or 'set_record_mode'. There is no mention of prerequisites or contexts where enabling/disabling session record is appropriate.

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