connect

Connect to a camera by its index. Required before controlling features or capturing images.

이 서버는 한 번에 한 대만 연결한다. 이미 연결된 상태에서 호출하면 기존
연결을 먼저 해제한다.

Args:
    index: discover_cameras() 가 돌려준 index.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description discloses that the server connects to only one camera at a time and reconnects by disconnecting first. This provides clear behavioral context beyond the name.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise, front-loaded with purpose, and includes usage context and behavioral notes in a well-structured paragraph format.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers prerequisites and connection behavior. It could mention error handling or timeouts, but overall sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description explains the 'index' parameter as coming from 'discover_cameras()', adding crucial meaning beyond the integer type in the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states '카메라에 연결한다' (connect to camera) and explains its prerequisite role for feature control and capture, distinguishing it from sibling tools like disconnect.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description indicates when to use (before feature control and capture) and notes behavior when already connected (disconnects first). However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives.

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