get_level_race_mode

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

The description explains the behavioral effect of the mode ('holds the current angle as the setpoint rather than actively leveling') and includes type and default value (UINT8, default OFF), providing useful context beyond a simple getter.

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 extremely concise: one sentence with the functional description plus a brief technical note. No redundant information.

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 zero-parameter getter with no output schema, the description adequately explains the setting's effect and type. Minor gap: it does not explicitly state that the return value is the current ON/OFF value, but this is inferable.

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 exist, so baseline is 4. The description adds meaning (explains the mode) 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 the tool retrieves the level_race_mode setting and explains its purpose. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling 'set_level_race_mode', though the name implies a getter.

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?

Usage is implied (read the current setting), but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'set_level_race_mode'.

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