Betaflight MCP

get_d_max_pitch

Read the current D_max pitch value from a Betaflight flight controller to retrieve the tuning parameter for pitch axis.

Instructions

Get d_max_pitch: D_max for pitch. [UINT8, default: 46]

Behavior4/5

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

The description adds behavioral information beyond the tool name: it specifies the data type (UINT8) and the default value (46). Since no annotations are present, this helps the agent understand the expected output range and default, but it does not disclose side effects or authentication needs.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is very concise, consisting of two short clauses. It efficiently communicates the purpose and a key behavioral detail (type/default), though it could be slightly more structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the absence of an output schema, the description does not explicitly state what the tool returns (e.g., the current D_max pitch value). While the type and default give partial info, a full description of the return value is missing, reducing completeness.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, and the schema coverage is 100% (trivially). The description does not need to elaborate on parameters, and effectively conveys that no input is required.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description explicitly states 'Get d_max_pitch: D_max for pitch.' This clearly identifies the tool as a getter for the D_max parameter related to pitch, distinguishing it from siblings like get_d_max_roll and get_d_max_yaw.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It is implied that this tool is used when retrieving the D_max value for pitch, but no context on prerequisites or conditions is provided.

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