qui_validate_automation_regex

Validate a regex pattern used in automation rules to ensure it works before applying changes to a qBittorrent instance.

Instructions

Call qui's POST /instances/{instanceID}/automations/validate-regex endpoint. Pass path variables directly in arguments, query values in arguments.params, and a JSON request body in arguments.body.

Behavior1/5

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

Annotations are absent, and the description provides no information about side effects, safety, authentication, or error behavior. It only gives the HTTP method and argument passing convention, leaving the agent blind to behavioral traits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler, efficiently conveying the HTTP method and argument passing convention. It earns its place without waste.

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?

Despite the output schema covering return values, the description fails to explain the tool's purpose, required inputs, or behavior. With a generic schema and no annotations, this leaves the agent with insufficient context to correctly select and invoke the tool.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The description clarifies that path variables go directly under 'arguments', query parameters under 'arguments.params', and the body under 'arguments.body'. This adds useful structure beyond the generic 'additionalProperties' schema, but it doesn't enumerate specific body fields or query parameters for the regex validation.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description only instructs to call a specific endpoint URL; it doesn't state what validating a regex means or what the tool accomplishes. It relies entirely on the tool name, making it close to tautological.

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 mention of when to use this validation, prerequisites, or alternatives among the many sibling automation tools. The description gives no contextual guidance for selecting this tool over others.

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