get_crash_setpoint_threshold

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the type, range, and default, which adds value. However, it does not explicitly state it is read-only, lacks side effects, or mention any access requirements. 'Get' implies reading, but full transparency is not achieved.

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 concise sentence, front-loaded with the purpose, and efficiently includes technical details in brackets. No redundant words.

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 parameters or output schema, the description provides essential information: what it retrieves and the expected value constraints. It could further explain the role of the threshold in crash detection, but is largely sufficient for a simple getter.

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 has no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not add parameter meaning because none exist. The type/range info pertains to the return value rather than parameters; baseline 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 tool retrieves the crash setpoint threshold, including its data type (UINT16), range (50–2000), and default (350). This specific resource name distinguishes it from hundreds of sibling getters.

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 implies use when the crash setpoint threshold is needed, but does not explicitly state when to use or not use this tool vs. alternatives. For a parameter-specific getter, the context is straightforward, but no guidance on selection among siblings is provided.

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