B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It conveys the effect (cutting/restoring a device's WAN access) but omits prerequisites such as whether the device must already be known to the router or whether parental-control/WAN rules must be enabled, and it never states what the call returns or what happens on an unknown address.

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?

A single tightly-written sentence with the action and the selector front-loaded and no filler. Nothing in it is redundant.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a state-changing, two-parameter tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the definition is too thin. An agent still lacks the prerequisite knowledge (device must be resolvable, parental control enabled) and any indication of success/failure reporting.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 0% with only bare titles, so the description must compensate. It does add real meaning: the boolean is the block/restore switch and the identifier is specifically an IPv4 address rather than a hostname or MAC — but it says nothing about accepted format details, validation, or error behavior for malformed addresses.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description names a specific action (block or restore) on a specific resource (one device's internet access) and identifies the key (IPv4 address). This clearly separates it from siblings such as fritz_set_guest_wifi or fritz_reboot, but it does not explicitly reference any sibling or contrast with them.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

'Block or restore' implies the `blocked` flag toggles direction, so the calling condition is inferable. However, there is no guidance on how to obtain the IPv4 address (e.g., via fritz_list_devices) or on when this is preferable to network-level alternatives like fritz_set_guest_wifi.

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