sb_update_storage_box_access_settings

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It implies mutation ('toggle') but does not clarify that it updates settings, whether changes are immediate, or if permissions are required. The term 'toggle' is slightly misleading as properties are set to specific values.

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 single sentence is concise but under-informative. For a tool with 6 parameters, it fails to provide essential details, sacrificing utility for brevity.

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 the complexity (6 parameters, no param descriptions, no annotations) and existence of an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. An agent cannot accurately invoke the tool without additional context.

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%, yet the description adds no meaning to the 6 parameters. It does not map 'protocol availability' to the boolean parameters (samba_enabled, etc.) or explain 'external reachability'.

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 identifies the tool's function: toggling protocol availability and external reachability for a Storage Box. It distinguishes from siblings like sb_update_storage_box by specifying 'access settings', but lacks precision in verb choice ('toggle' vs 'update').

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 (e.g., sb_update_storage_box for other settings). No context on prerequisites or choice scenarios.

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