props_trigger

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

With no annotations, description must fully disclose behavior. It only says 'trigger... to display', omitting side effects, permissions, or behavior if prop is already active. No info on whether it clears other props or requires a specific state.

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 single sentence is short but not sufficiently informative. It lacks necessary detail while being concise. Could be expanded to include behavioral context without losing conciseness.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is too minimal for a tool with one required parameter. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or how 'trigger' modifies state. Incomplete for confident agent use.

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 coverage is 100% with a description for 'id'. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema; it merely restates the purpose. No constraints or format details provided.

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 the verb 'trigger' and resource 'prop', clearly indicating it activates a prop for display. It distinguishes from other props tools (e.g., props_clear, props_delete) but is slightly vague on what 'trigger' entails (e.g., show momentarily or keep displayed).

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 or when not to use this tool. No mention of alternatives, prerequisites, or context (e.g., does the prop need to exist in a collection?). Lacks explicit usage boundaries compared to sibling tools.

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