playlists_trigger_next

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'trigger' without explaining side effects (e.g., does it start playback? change the active item?). The impact is unclear, which is insufficient for a mutation 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?

The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded but overly terse. With only 5 words, it could benefit from additional context without becoming verbose, so it is not optimally concise.

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?

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and the abundance of sibling trigger tools, the description is too minimal. It fails to explain how this tool fits into the workflow or what distinguishes it from others like 'playlists_trigger_item'.

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 the sole parameter 'playlistId' with a clear description ('The ID of the playlist'). The tool description adds no additional information about the parameter beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 action 'Trigger the next item' and specifies the resource 'a specific playlist'. Among sibling tools like 'playlists_trigger' and 'playlists_trigger_previous', it distinguishes itself as targeting the next item, but does not clarify what 'next' refers to (e.g., relative to current item).

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'playlists_trigger_active_presentation' or 'playlists_trigger_focused_next'. The description lacks context about prerequisites or context for invocation.

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