set_active_dao

Switch active operations to a DAO context for repository and issue management. Provide a DAO name to set as owner, or leave empty to revert to personal account.

Instructions

Use this when you need to switch operations to a DAO context. When a DAO is active, repository and issue operations use the DAO as the owner. Pass dao_name to switch; omit or pass empty string to revert to personal account. The DAO must appear in your get_user_context list. See also: get_user_context.

Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided; description carries full burden. It explains the effect on operations and the condition for reverting, effectively disclosing the behavioral impact of the tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words. Each sentence adds value: purpose, usage, and reference to sibling.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is complete: it covers when to use, how to use, and provides context via sibling reference.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds significant meaning: it explains that dao_name switches context, and omitting or passing empty string reverts. Also adds condition about DAO existing in user context.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: switching operations to a DAO context. It explains that when a DAO is active, repository and issue operations use the DAO as owner, distinguishing it from sibling tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says 'Use this when...' and provides clear instructions: pass dao_name to switch, omit or pass empty string to revert. Also notes the DAO must appear in get_user_context list, referencing a sibling tool.

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