set_angle_feedforward_smoothing_ms

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

No annotations are provided. The description indicates a write operation but does not disclose any side effects, prerequisites (e.g., connectivity), or persistence behavior (immediate vs. after reboot). Minimal disclosure beyond the action itself.

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, efficient sentence that conveys the essential purpose and constraint. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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 simple setter with one parameter, the description is mostly adequate but lacks information on what happens after setting (e.g., immediate effect, reboot required, return value). No output schema exists to clarify return behavior.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds the default value (80) and the UINT8 type, which slightly enriches the parameter context beyond the schema's description, but does not fundamentally change the understanding.

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 action ('Set') and the specific resource ('angle_feedforward_smoothing_ms') with a concise explanation of its purpose ('Smoothing applied to angle feedforward signal'). It differentiates itself from the corresponding getter tool among siblings.

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 explicit guidelines on when to use or not use this tool. The nature of a setter is implied, and the existence of a getter sibling suggests usage pattern, but no direct alternatives or exclusions are provided.

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