lc_preview_set_cloud_adapter_enabled

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

The description mentions 'preview' but does not disclose that it likely performs a dry-run without side effects. There are no annotations to provide safety hints. The description does not clarify whether it modifies state or what the return value represents.

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 with a single sentence. While it is front-loaded, it sacrifices necessary clarity and parameter explanation. It could be expanded without becoming bloated.

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 tool has four parameters, no output schema, and a minimal description. Given the complexity and lack of annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what a preview entails, what the parameters do, or what the expected result is.

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?

The input schema has zero description coverage for parameters. The description does not explain any parameter names (oid, name, enabled, token_ttl_seconds) or how they map to the 'cloud adapter Hive record' and 'enabled metadata'. The agent cannot determine what values to supply.

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 it is a preview action for toggling the enabled metadata of a cloud adapter Hive record. It distinguishes from generic sibling tools like lc_preview_set_hive_record_enabled by specifying the resource type. However, it does not define the term 'preview' further.

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 such as lc_preview_set_cloud_adapter or lc_set_cloud_adapter. The term 'preview' implies testing but is not explained. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite information is provided.

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