lc_preview_seal_sensor

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

The word 'Preview' implies a dry-run, but the description does not explicitly state that no changes are made, what permissions are required, or any side effects. Without annotations, the description should provide more behavioral clarity.

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 very short (one sentence), which is concise but at the expense of omitting critical information. It could be expanded slightly without becoming verbose.

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 no output schema and multiple parameters, the description lacks context about what the preview returns, what 'sealing' entails, and how the preview result should be used. It is incomplete for effective tool usage.

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%, and the description does not explain any of the three parameters (oid, sensor_id, token_ttl_seconds). The agent receives no help understanding what values to provide.

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 clearly states the tool previews sealing a sensor to prevent uninstall. It uses a specific verb-resource pairing ('Preview sealing') and distinguishes from sibling tools like lc_preview_unseal_sensor.

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. For example, it doesn't mention that this is a dry-run before confirming, nor does it explain how to proceed after previewing.

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