set_account_active

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

Annotations indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and idempotency (idempotentHint=true). The description adds value by disclosing that pausing closes the warm browser session, which is not inferable from annotations or schema. No contradiction with annotations.

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 two sentences with no wasted words. It front-loads the core purpose ('Enable or pause an account') and adds a critical behavior detail in the second sentence.

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 tool has an output schema and is relatively simple, the description covers the main purpose and one behavioral nuance. However, it lacks parameter semantics and usage guidance, making it incomplete for an agent to use confidently without further inference.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate. It implies the 'active' boolean controls enable/pause, but does not explicitly map true/false to states. The 'account' parameter is entirely unexplained, leaving the agent to guess the format or context.

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 enables or pauses an account, and distinguishes itself from deletion by saying 'without deleting it'. It also specifies a key behavioral detail about pausing closing the browser session. This provides a specific verb+resource and distinguishes from siblings like remove_account.

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?

The description does not provide any explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_account, nor does it explain scenarios for enabling vs pausing. It only contrasts with deletion, leaving ambiguity about its role among sibling account management tools.

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