set_simplified_pitch_pi_gain

Adjust the pitch axis P and I gain multiplier to compensate for pitch inertia and tune pitch behavior on Betaflight flight controllers.

Instructions

Set simplified_pitch_pi_gain: Additional P and I multiplier for pitch only (relative compensation for pitch inertia). [UINT8, default: 100]

Input Schema

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

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions type (UINT8) and default (100), and indicates it's an additional multiplier for pitch. However, it does not disclose immediate effects, whether a reboot is needed, or side effects on other parameters. Missing behavioral traits beyond what's minimally implied.

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 concise (one sentence plus type/default note) and front-loaded with purpose. No wasted words, but could be better structured (e.g., separate behavioral effects). Still efficient.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a single-parameter setter with no output schema, the description is mostly complete: explains the parameter's role (additional PI multiplier for pitch, relative compensation). Lacks mention of its place in simplified PID tuning, but adequate for a simple tool.

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% (single parameter with basic description). The description adds significant context: 'Additional P and I multiplier for pitch only (relative compensation for pitch inertia)' and '[UINT8, default: 100]', enhancing understanding beyond the schema's generic 'Value for simplified_pitch_pi_gain (UINT8)'.

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 the 'simplified_pitch_pi_gain' and specifies it's an additional P and I multiplier for pitch only, relative compensation for pitch inertia. This distinctively identifies the resource and action among siblings like 'set_simplified_pi_gain' and 'set_simplified_pitch_d_gain'.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'set_simplified_pi_gain' for general PI gain). No prerequisites, context, or conditions provided. The description implies it's for pitch-specific tuning but does not elaborate.

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