chatgpt_set_temporary

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses that the tool toggles temporary mode, validates through page state, and may open a new conversation—useful side-effect information. It does not detail all side effects, but the disclosed behavior is meaningful and non-obvious.

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 two short sentences with no filler. It front-loads the action and target, then adds validation behavior and a side-effect warning; every clause earns its place.

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 one-boolean toggle, the description covers what the tool does, the scope (new conversations), how it validates, and a key side effect. Since there is no output schema, that absence is not a gap. It does not explain the exact meaning of 'temporary mode' relative to other modes, but this is likely sufficient for agent selection and 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 description coverage is 0%, but the single boolean parameter 'enabled' maps naturally to the description's '开启或关闭' (turn on/off). The description thereby supplies the semantic meaning of the parameter without repeating the schema. It could be more explicit by naming the parameter, but the behavior clearly implies its role.

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 a specific action—turning temporary conversation mode on or off for new conversations—with an explicit resource target. It reads as distinct from sibling toggles such as select_mode or new_chat, though it does not explicitly name or exclude siblings.

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 provides some context by saying it applies to new conversations and that switching may open a new chat, but it does not explain when to use this tool versus alternatives like chatgpt_select_mode or chatgpt_new_chat. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is given.

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