akb_set_public

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

No annotations provided; description covers authorization ('Owner only') and level definitions, but lacks details on side effects, reversibility, or rate limits.

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?

Single sentence with a three-item definition list. Every part is essential; no redundancy.

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?

Adequate for a simple two-parameter tool with no output schema. Could mention expected return value (e.g., success/failure).

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 has 100% coverage. Description adds meaning to 'level' by explaining enum values, which goes beyond the schema's 'Public access level'.

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?

Clear verb 'Set' with resource 'vault public access level' and explicit enum meanings. Distinguishes from sibling tools like akb_grant or akb_revoke.

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?

States 'Owner only' as a constraint, but does not explicitly indicate when to use this tool vs alternatives such as akb_grant or akb_revoke.

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