get_simplified_pi_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 reveals the data type (UINT8) and default value (100), and notes it is 'relative to master', which is useful context for interpreting the value. However, it does not disclose if the read has side effects or requires specific state.

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 with key details (type, default, relative nature) in a compact form. It is appropriately front-loaded. Slightly reduced score because it could also mention the unit or range.

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 no output schema, the description explains the return value (UINT8 scaling slider). However, it does not explain what 'simplified' means in the PID context or how this value relates to other gains. For a complete understanding, the agent may need additional domain knowledge.

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 schema coverage is 100%, so no further semantic description is needed. The description does not add parameter meaning but this is acceptable given the absence of 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 clearly states it retrieves a 'P and I scaling slider (relative to master)'. The verb 'Get' and resource 'simplified_pi_gain' are clear, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like get_simplified_d_gain or get_simplified_i_gain by specifying both gains (P and I).

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_simplified_pitch_pi_gain or set_simplified_pi_gain. The description does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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