get_gyro_notch2_cutoff

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 that the output is a UINT16 with default 0, hinting at read-only behavior via 'Get'. However, it does not explicitly state that it is a read operation or describe any other behavioral traits.

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 sentence that effectively communicates the purpose and additional details. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, then provides the attribute and type. No wasted 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?

For a simple parameter-less getter, the description is reasonably complete. It specifies the returned value's meaning, data type, and default. It could be enhanced with allowed range or unit, but it covers the essentials.

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 tool has no parameters, and the schema description coverage is 100% (empty schema). Per guidelines, baseline is 4. The description adds the output type and default value, which is helpful but not about parameters.

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 explicitly states 'Get gyro_notch2_cutoff: Bandwidth of gyro notch 2', clearly identifying the resource (gyro notch 2) and the attribute (bandwidth/cutoff). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_gyro_notch2_hz or set_gyro_notch2_cutoff.

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, nor does it mention any prerequisites or conditions. It merely states what it does, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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