enable_device

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

The description adds behavioral context by explaining that 'enabled=False bypasses the plugin', but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or reversibility. No annotations to share the burden.

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?

Single sentence, no fluff, and the key information is front-loaded. Extremely concise.

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?

Adequate for a simple toggle tool, but missing parameter descriptions for indices reduces completeness. Output schema presence (not shown) may help, but not accounted for in description.

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?

Only the 'enabled' parameter is explained; 'track_index' and 'device_index' are left to the schema, which has 0% description coverage. The description adds value for one parameter but fails for the other two.

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 action ('Enable or disable a device') and explains the bypassing behavior, but does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'delete_device' or 'add_device'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not specify when to enable vs disable or compare to other device-related tools.

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