get_d_yaw

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

No annotations provided. Description does not explicitly state it's read-only or mention side effects/permissions. The name 'get_' implies no mutation, but the description could be more transparent about behavior.

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?

Extremely concise – one sentence plus a parenthetical note. Front-loaded with tool name and explanation. Every word adds value, 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?

Given the simplicity of a parameterless getter, description explains the setting's meaning and default. Lacks explicit mention of read-only nature and cross-references to sibling tools, but largely sufficient.

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?

No parameters in schema, so description's inclusion of default value and type [UINT8, default: 0] adds semantic value beyond the empty schema. Schema coverage is 100% vacuously, but description enhances understanding of the returned value.

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?

Clearly states it retrieves the Yaw D gain setting, a specific resource. Gives context on why it's usually left at 0, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from other D gain tools (e.g., get_d_pitch). Still, the description is clear and informative.

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?

Implies when not to use (keep at 0) but doesn't explicitly state when to use or mention alternatives like set_d_yaw. Provides context but lacks direct usage direction.

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