set_motor_kv

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It reveals that the value is used in internal calculations and affects RPM limit and dynamic idle, offering moderate transparency. However, it does not specify whether changes take effect immediately or require a reboot, nor does it mention any side effects or prerequisites.

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 extremely concise, using two sentences plus a compact range/default notation. Every word adds value, and the structure is front-loaded with the tool's purpose.

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 and no output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose, parameter details, and impact. It lacks only minor behavioral details like effect timing or error handling, but overall it is sufficient for correct usage.

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% with one parameter described. The description adds the default value (1960) and explains the importance of setting the correct value for accurate features, which supplements the schema's range and description. The bracket notation succinctly conveys type and range.

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 tool sets the motor KV rating and explains its role in internal calculations. The verb 'Set' combined with resource 'motor_kv' is unambiguous, and the range/default are provided, making it easy to distinguish from sibling tools.

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?

The description advises setting to actual motor KV for accurate RPM limit and dynamic idle, providing clear context for when to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools, which would be helpful given the large number of set_* siblings.

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