set_deck_filter

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

No annotations provided and description lacks any behavioral details (e.g., whether the operation is destructive, idempotent, or requires specific permissions). The short description conveys no behavioral traits beyond the generic 'set'.

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 but at the cost of clarity. It is a single sentence that fails to convey necessary details, making it under-specified rather than efficiently concise.

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 the tool has two parameters, an output schema (though unseen), and many sibling tools, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what setting a value on deck A or B accomplishes in the broader system, leaving the agent poorly informed.

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%, meaning no descriptions in the schema. The description does not explain the parameters 'deck' or 'value' beyond their types. The titles 'Deck' and 'Value' in the schema are not elaborated, leaving the agent without useful semantics.

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?

Description states 'Set value on deck A or B.' but does not specify what 'value' refers to (e.g., filter value). The resource shifts from 'deck filter' in the name to just 'deck', causing ambiguity. No distinction from sibling tools like set_deck_submaster.

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. Does not mention context, prerequisites, or exclusion criteria. The description is silent on usage context.

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