enable_user

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond the action itself, so it does not contradict annotations but also adds minimal value.

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 extremely concise with a single sentence, but it is under-specified. It lacks necessary context about parameters and usage, so it is not 'appropriately sized' despite its 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?

With 0% parameter coverage and no usage guidance, the description is not complete enough for an agent to correctly invoke the tool. The annotations help with safety, but the description fails to explain what 'name' or 'device' refer to or what enabling entails.

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 does not explain any parameters. 'Enables a user' provides no meaning for the 'name' or 'device' fields, leaving the agent to guess what they represent.

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 'Enables a user' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly indicating the action of enabling a user account. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like disable_user, add_user, and update_user.

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 implies usage when one wants to enable a user, but provides no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative guidance. It does not mention the relationship to disable_user or any prerequisites.

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