set_active_review_version_tool

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It does disclose the mutation semantics and explicitly explains the clearing behavior via null/omit, which is valuable. However, it does not mention validation, side effects, or requirements beyond the schema, leaving the transparency partial.

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 with no wasted words. The core action is front-loaded and the clearing caveat is included compactly.

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?

This is a simple two-parameter setter with an output schema, so the description covers the essential behavior and clearing semantics sufficiently. It could be more complete with explicit sibling tool differentiation, but the operation is straightforward and the output schema reduces the need to describe return values.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must add meaning beyond parameter names. It does add important semantics for version_id: passing null/omit clears the active version. project_path is left implied by its name, but the parameter set is small and simple enough that the description partially compensates.

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 uses a specific verb pair (set/clear) and names an exact resource (review.active_version_id), making the operation immediately clear. The null/omit behavior also distinguishes it from review-version siblings like publish_review_version_tool and list_review_versions_tool.

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 states what the tool does but provides no guidance about when to use it versus alternatives. With a large sibling set containing other review-version tools, it doesn't explicitly say when to choose this tool or mention exclusions such as 'use publish_review_version_tool for publishing.'

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