set_runaway_takeoff_deactivate_delay

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

The description indicates a write operation ('Set') and provides the parameter range and default, but does not disclose whether changes take effect immediately, require a save/reboot, or have any side effects. Since no annotations are present, more behavioral context would be beneficial.

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 sentence plus a bracketed specification, conveying all essential information without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the key action and resource name, then provides additional context efficiently.

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 parameter setter with one input and no output schema, the description covers the core semantics, range, and default. It lacks details on persistence or immediate effect, but is largely complete for an agent to use the tool correctly in most contexts.

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%, but the description adds meaningful context: it explains that the value represents a time delay after arming and provides the default (500). The schema parameter description is generic ('Value for...'), so the description improves semantic understanding beyond the schema alone.

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 explicitly states the verb 'Set' and the resource 'runaway_takeoff_deactivate_delay', and defines it as 'Time after arming before runaway takeoff protection stops monitoring.' This provides a specific and unambiguous purpose, clearly distinguishing it from other setter 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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the large number of sibling tools (especially other runaway takeoff settings), some context on typical use cases or exclusions would be helpful. However, the purpose is clear enough for an agent to infer usage.

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