vikunja_task_labels

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only says 'manage task labels' without explaining side effects (e.g., whether applying a non-existent label creates it), permission requirements, or what operations are idempotent. The enum implies mutation and read, but details are missing.

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 extremely concise at one sentence, front-loading the purpose. While it could be slightly more informative, it avoids fluff and gets to the point.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage, the description is too sparse. It does not specify what 'list-labels' returns, or required parameter relationships (e.g., labels required for apply/remove). More detail is needed for safe invocation.

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 0%, so the description should explain parameters. It does not: 'id' is not confirmed as task ID, 'labels' as label IDs, no format or constraints. The enum values are self-explanatory, but additional context is lacking.

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: managing task labels with three specific operations (apply, remove, list). This is a specific verb+resource combination. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like vikunja_labels (which likely manages label definitions) or vikunja_task_crud, but the operation enum provides clarity.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as vikunja_labels for creating labels. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., task must exist, label must exist) or when not to use it.

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