Betaflight MCP

by bvandevliet

get_simplified_pitch_d_gain

Retrieve the additional D multiplier for pitch control from a Betaflight flight controller. This value tunes the derivative gain for the pitch axis.

Instructions

Get simplified_pitch_d_gain: Additional D multiplier for pitch only. [UINT8, default: 100]

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that this is a read operation (Get) and provides type/range (UINT8, default 100). However, it does not mention side effects or safety profile; for a simple getter this is adequate but minimally informative beyond the obvious.

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 a single concise sentence with type info appended. It front-loads the tool name and provides no unnecessary details. Every word earns its place.

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?

For a parameterless getter with no output schema, the description explains what the returned value represents and its context within simplified PID tuning. It could mention relation to other gains, but is sufficiently complete for the tool's simplicity.

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?

There are no parameters, and schema coverage is 100% by default. The description adds value by explaining the meaning of the retrieved value (additional D multiplier for pitch) and its type/default, which is essential context since the schema itself is empty.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states it retrieves the simplified_pitch_d_gain, an additional D multiplier for pitch only. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_simplified_d_gain (general D gain) and get_simplified_pitch_pi_gain (pitch PI gain).

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 it is for reading the pitch-specific D gain, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives or provide any 'when not to use' guidance. The presence of set_simplified_pitch_d_gain suggests the getter is for reading, but no direct comparison is made.

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