get_dyn_idle_i_gain

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 data type, valid range, and default value, indicating a non-destructive read operation. However, it does not describe any side effects, permissions, or stability implications, leaving some behavioral gaps.

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: 14 words covering purpose, resource, type, range, and default. Front-loaded with the action 'Get'. Every word earns its place without 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?

For a simple parameter getter with no parameters and no output schema, the description provides the essential information. However, it lacks any context on how the I gain fits into the dynamic idle system or when to query it, which could be helpful given the many sibling tools.

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 (schema description coverage 100%), so no parameter documentation is needed. The description adds value by specifying the return value's type, range, and default, which is helpful beyond the empty schema.

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 it retrieves the I gain of the dynamic idle RPM controller (verb+resource). It does not explicitly differentiate from many sibling get_* tools, but the naming pattern is consistent and the resource is specific enough.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description implies it is for reading a parameter, but does not mention when-not to use or provide comparisons with similar tools like get_dyn_idle_p_gain or set_dyn_idle_i_gain.

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