set_dshot_bitbang

Enable software DSHOT by setting the DSHOT bitbang implementation. AUTO selects the mode automatically.

Instructions

Set dshot_bitbang: DSHOT bitbang implementation (software DSHOT). AUTO selects automatically. (Requires: USE_DSHOT + USE_DSHOT_BITBANG) [UINT8, default: AUTO]

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
valueYesValue for dshot_bitbang (UINT8)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; the description mentions it's a set operation but fails to disclose side effects, required permissions, or any behavioral impact beyond the trivial fact that it sets a value.

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?

Description is very concise with two sentences and no unnecessary details. The prerequisite note is tucked into parentheses but front-loaded enough.

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 set operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the purpose and default but omits possible enum values (beyond AUTO) and lacks details on behavior when set. The type inconsistency also reduces completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 100% coverage with a parameter description, but the description adds the default value 'AUTO' and clarifies the type (UINT8) and default. However, there is a type mismatch (schema: string, description: UINT8) which adds confusion rather than clarity.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool sets dshot_bitbang for DSHOT bitbang implementation and explains AUTO selects automatically. However, it does not differentiate from other set_ tools beyond naming the specific parameter.

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?

No explicit when-to-use vs alternatives, but provides a prerequisite condition (requires USE_DSHOT + USE_DSHOT_BITBANG) which helps an agent understand required firmware configuration.

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