adb_batch_actions

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

No annotations provided. The description discloses sequential execution, optional delay, and supported action types. However, it does not mention error handling (like stopOnError behavior) or partial execution outcomes, which are relevant for a batch tool.

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 sentences plus a list, efficiently conveying purpose, benefit, and supported actions. Front-loaded and concise, with no unnecessary words.

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?

The description covers purpose, execution model, and action types, but lacks details on return value, per-action results, and error behavior beyond the stopOnError parameter. Without an output schema, more context would be beneficial.

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 100% with detailed parameter descriptions. The description adds minimal new meaning beyond the schema, mainly reiterating sequential execution and delay. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 executes multiple input actions in a single call, reducing ADB round-trips for multi-step UI interactions. It is specific and distinguishes from individual action siblings by emphasizing batch execution.

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 implies use for multi-step interactions to reduce round-trips, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative individual action tools. Usage context is implied but not fully guided.

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