qbittorrent_torrents_toggle_sequential_download

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

The description accurately describes a state-toggle mutation, consistent with readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. It adds the input format but no additional behavioral context such as effect on download order, whether 'all' toggles each torrent independently, or error conditions.

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 short sentence with the key action front-loaded and parameter detail in parentheses. Every word carries meaning and there is no redundancy.

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 simple one-parameter toggle operation with annotations and an output schema present, the description sufficiently covers the operation and parameter format. It could add a hint about typical use cases or effect, but the low complexity keeps the gap small.

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?

With 0% schema coverage for the only parameter 'hashes', the description compensates by specifying accepted formats: pipe-separated hashes or the literal 'all'. This gives the agent the necessary invocation syntax, though it could be slightly more explicit about separator conventions.

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 a specific action ('Toggle') on a specific resource ('sequential download mode for torrents'), and uniquely distinguishes it from sibling toggles like first/last piece priority by naming the exact mode.

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. It does not explain prerequisites, side effects, or contrast with similar toggle operations such as first/last piece priority.

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