get_p_pitch

Retrieve the current pitch P gain value to adjust PID settings, compensating for greater inertia than roll.

Instructions

Get p_pitch: Pitch P gain. Pitch typically needs slightly higher P than roll due to greater inertia. [UINT8, default: 47]

Behavior4/5

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the burden. It clarifies a read operation ('Get'), specifies the data type (UINT8) and default value (47), which are behavioral traits beyond the name. There is no contradiction, and the description is sufficient for a simple read-only tool.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise, with one sentence stating the purpose and a parenthetical note on type and default. Every part is useful and front-loaded. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description adequately conveys the return type and default. It adds tuning context without being verbose. It does not specify the exact return format, but for a scalar UINT8, this is sufficient.

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 no parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. Per the guidelines, the baseline for 0 parameters is 4. The description does not need to add parameter information.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves the pitch P gain and provides a tuning hint about inertia. The verb 'Get' and resource 'p_pitch' are specific, though it does not explicitly distinguish from similar tools like get_angle_p_gain or get_p_roll. The added context about pitch needing higher P adds value but is not a direct sibling differentiation.

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?

The description implies usage in PID tuning by noting pitch typically needs higher P than roll. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any conditions where it should not be used. The hint is useful but not a full guideline.

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