Install or remove internal chat, waiting_list, or task_tracker sidebar frames for a location. Use plan mode to preview changes and apply mode to commit them.

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true), but the description adds almost no behavioral context beyond restating mutation. Critically it never explains that the required 'mode' includes a 'plan' dry-run versus 'apply' commit, nor the meaning of the 'confirmation' parameter or ownership checks.

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?

Two tight sentences, no filler, with the action front-loaded ahead of the type-scope clarification. Efficient for what it does, though brevity here comes partly from under-specification.

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?

For a 7-parameter, 6-required mutation tool with 14% schema coverage and no output schema, the description is too thin. An agent is left without enough to correctly invoke plan vs apply mode, supply confirmation, or understand the url/applications/location bindings.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is only 14% (just partner_id), so the description must compensate heavily. It maps the three values of the 'type' enum (chat/waiting_list/task_tracker) but leaves the plan/apply semantics of 'mode', the purpose of 'confirmation', and the roles of url/application_id/location_id entirely undocumented.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb pair (install/remove) and resource (sidebar frame), and enumerates the three handled types. It also disambiguates from developer employee/client/visit frames, which helps separate it from the entity-frame siblings, though it does not name those tools directly.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance is given, and no alternative sibling (e.g. marketplace_replace_entity_frames, marketplace_list_entity_frames, marketplace_toggle_sidebar_highlight) is named for routing. The type distinction is a scope statement rather than usage direction.

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