boond_apps_install

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full behavioral disclosure burden. 'Install an app by ID' conveys a mutating action but does not mention side effects, reversibility, permissions, idempotency, or behavior when the app is already installed.

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 a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a simple tool, even though it sacrifices behavioral and usage detail.

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?

With no annotations, output schema, or parameter documentation, the description is too sparse for an agent to invoke the tool with full confidence. It omits prerequisites, expected outcomes, and the relationship to sibling search/get/uninstall tools, which is a significant gap for a mutating operation.

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%, and the description only adds that the `id` parameter is an app identifier. It does not explain the ID format, where to obtain it, or whether it refers to an app catalog ID versus an installation instance ID, so the added meaning is minimal.

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 states a specific verb ('Install') and resource ('app'), and the qualifier 'by ID' specifies the selection mechanism. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools such as boond_apps_uninstall, boond_apps_get, and boond_apps_search.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as whether an app must first be found via search/get, or how install differs from uninstall. No context, exclusions, or alternative routing is provided.

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