lc_preview_set_secret_enabled

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

The description only states 'Preview toggling', implying a dry-run, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as side effects (should be none), error conditions, authentication needs, or rate limits. With no annotations, the description carries full burden but is insufficient.

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 concise: a single sentence with no fluff. However, it sacrifices substance for brevity. It earns its place but could include more information 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 4 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what the preview returns, how to interpret results, or how parameters relate to the operation. The agent lacks critical information to use the tool effectively.

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 0% description coverage, and the tool description does not explain any parameter semantics. For example, it doesn't clarify what 'oid' vs 'name' identify for the secret, or the role of 'token_ttl_seconds'. The description adds no value beyond the schema.

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 previews toggling a secret Hive record's enabled metadata. The verb 'preview toggling' indicates it's a dry-run operation, and 'secret Hive record's enabled metadata' specifies the resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like lc_preview_set_secret (which likely sets the secret) and lc_preview_set_hive_record_enabled (for general Hive records), but the phrasing 'preview toggling' could be clearer.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or when not to use it. The sibling set includes many preview_set_* tools without differentiation, leaving the agent without decision support.

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