Betaflight MCP

by bvandevliet

reboot_flight_controller

Reboot the flight controller, closing the connection. Then use reconnect_flight_controller to reestablish it.

Instructions

Reboot the flight controller. The connection will be closed as the FC restarts. Use reconnect_flight_controller (or connect_flight_controller) afterwards.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the connection closure during reboot, a key behavioral trait. However, it could note prerequisites like disarming, but is still strong for a simple reboot.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no waste. Every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given zero parameters and no output schema, the description is fully complete: purpose, consequence, and next steps are covered.

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?

No parameters exist, so baseline 4. Description correctly needs no additional param info.

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 explicitly states the action ('Reboot') and the resource ('flight controller'), making the purpose clear. Among siblings like reconnect_flight_controller and various set/get tools, this is distinct.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It advises that the connection will close and explicitly suggests using reconnect_flight_controller or connect_flight_controller afterward, providing clear post-reboot guidance.

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