focus_active_presentation

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It does not disclose whether 'focus' changes the active state, returns a result, or requires a currently active presentation. Ambiguity remains about side effects or whether this is a read or write operation.

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?

Single sentence, very concise with no wasted words. However, brevity comes at the cost of missing critical details about behavior and 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?

For a tool with no annotations, no output schema, and many siblings (e.g., focus_presentation, trigger_active_presentation), the description lacks essential context to understand what 'focus' means and how it differs from similar tools. Incomplete for the operational complexity.

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?

Zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline 4 applies. Description adds no parameter information but is not required since there are none. It is adequate for a parameterless tool.

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?

Description states verb 'focus' and resource 'currently active presentation', which is clear in isolation but does not differentiate from siblings like 'focus_presentation' or 'get_active_presentation'. The phrase 'currently active' is ambiguous; it could mean the presentation that is currently playing or the one that is selected.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'focus_presentation' (focus a specific presentation), 'trigger_active_presentation' (trigger the active presentation), or 'get_focused_presentation' (retrieve the focused presentation). No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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