get_blackbox_disable_acc

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. The description implies a read-only operation ('Get') and notes the data type (UINT32) and default value (OFF). However, it does not explicitly state that the tool is non-destructive or safe to call repeatedly, nor does it mention any side effects. The behavioral disclosure is minimal but acceptable for a straightforward getter.

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 line, which is highly concise. It front-loads the purpose by restating the name and then adding meaning. However, the repetition of the tool name is redundant and could be removed for even greater efficiency. Overall, it is appropriately sized for a simple getter.

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 tool has no parameters and no output schema, the description should explain what the returned value represents. It mentions type UINT32 and default OFF, but does not clarify the range of possible values (e.g., 0=OFF, 1=ON) or whether the return is a single numeric value. This gap makes it slightly incomplete for an agent needing to interpret the output.

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 input schema is empty, so there are no parameters to describe. According to the guidelines, with 0 parameters the baseline score is 4. The description adds no parameter information because none is needed.

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 tool retrieves the blackbox setting for excluding accelerometer data. The verb 'Get' and resource are explicit, and the purpose is unambiguous. Although it repeats the tool name, the added explanation 'Exclude accelerometer data' clarifies the setting's meaning. Among many similar get_blackbox_disable_* siblings, the name alone provides differentiation, so the description is sufficient.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to query this specific setting versus others or when to use the corresponding setter. For a simple getter, basic usage is implied, but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use advice, nor any mention of prerequisites or context.

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