set_angle_p_gain

Control the strength of self-leveling in angle mode by setting the P gain. Higher values produce a stronger return to level.

Instructions

Set angle_p_gain: P gain for angle mode self-leveling. Higher = stronger return to level. [UINT8, 0–200, default: 50]

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the effect on flight behavior but does not mention if the change is persistent, requires reboot, can be set while armed, or any safety implications. Incomplete for a mutation tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single sentence with added details in brackets. It is front-loaded with the tool name and key information. Very concise, but could be slightly restructured for better readability (e.g., separating the default).

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple one-parameter tool, the description covers purpose, effect, range, and default. However, it lacks usage guidance and transparency about side effects, making it adequate but not complete for safe autonomous use.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% (parameter 'value' documented). The description adds the default value (50) and explains the behavioral effect of higher values, providing useful context beyond the schema. However, it does not elaborate on format or units beyond the schema.

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 the tool sets 'angle_p_gain' and defines it as 'P gain for angle mode self-leveling'. It includes the effect ('Higher = stronger return to level') and provides data type, range, and default. This distinguishes it from many sibling set_* tools.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 other PID tuning tools. It does not mention prerequisites, when not to adjust this parameter, or how it interacts with other settings. The agent has no context for decision-making.

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