Switch CCU Target

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

The description discloses stateful behavior ('all subsequent tool calls go to this target'), lazy login, and return value. Annotations only indicate non-read-only, so the description adds essential behavioral context beyond annotations.

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 concise (three sentences) and well-structured: first sentence states the action, second explains persistence and alternative, third covers return and login. No unnecessary words.

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?

The description covers switching behavior, alternative usage, return info, and lazy login. It references sibling tool `list_ccu_targets` for valid profiles. Given an output schema is present, return value details are not needed. Context is complete.

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?

The single parameter 'profile' has a description that references `list_ccu_targets` for valid values, adding meaning beyond the type string. Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3, but the hint elevates it.

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's purpose: to switch the active CCU target. It uses a specific verb ('Switch') and resource ('CCU target'), and distinguishes from the per-call `target` argument alternative.

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 explicitly specifies when to use this tool (to switch the active target) and when not (for a one-off, use per-call `target` arg). It provides an alternative, making usage clear.

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