set_user_status

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It clarifies the two possible effects but says nothing about whether deactivation is reversible, whether it invalidates active sessions (a real risk given the terminate_session sibling), required privileges, or the response shape — significant gaps for an account-mutating tool.

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 sentence with the effect (enables/disables) front-loaded and the parenthetical flag mapping attached directly to it. No filler, though the sentence is terse enough that it could have spent one more clause on behavioral context.

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 described, but for a state-changing user-account tool with zero annotations the description omits consequences, reversibility, and authorization needs. An agent can call it mechanically but cannot predict the side effects.

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%, and the description compensates for the non-obvious half by explicitly defining disabled=False as enable and disabled=True as disable. It adds nothing for user_id, though that parameter's meaning is largely self-evident from its name.

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 names a specific verb pair (enables/disables) and resource (a user account in the BI platform), which is more precise than the tool name alone. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from nearby siblings such as get_users or terminate_session, so an agent must infer the boundary.

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?

There is no statement of when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisite or permission context. The only usage signal is the inline mapping of the disabled flag to each outcome, which tells an agent how to call it but not when it is the right choice.

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