set_p_pitch

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

No annotations provided; description mentions default value and type but does not disclose side effects (e.g., immediate effect, persistence, reboot required). Minimal behavioral guidance beyond schema.

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?

Very concise; two lines with purpose, context, and default value. Front-loaded, no wasted text.

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?

Adequate for a simple single-parameter setter, but lacks context about effect timing (immediate/after reboot) and validation beyond schema. Could mention UINT8 range explicitly.

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?

Adds default value (47) and explanation of what 'p_pitch' means beyond the schema's parameter description. Schema coverage is 100% but default is extra.

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?

Description clearly states the tool sets the pitch P gain, and adds context that pitch typically needs higher P than roll, distinguishing it from related tools like set_p_roll.

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 guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., set_i_pitch, set_d_pitch). Only a tuning hint, but no when-not or exclusions.

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