Enable alert trigger

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

Annotations already declare non-readOnly, non-idempotent, non-destructive, so safety is partly covered, but the description adds nothing beyond the sentence. It doesn't say whether enabling replaces or appends to the existing trigger set, what happens to already-enabled triggers, or how invalid trigger names fail — all significant for a mutation tool.

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?

One front-loaded sentence with zero filler, sized appropriately for a simple two-parameter call. It's terse to a fault rather than padded.

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?

For a mutation tool with no output schema and zero schema description coverage, the definition leaves the important unknowns unanswered: id semantics, replace-vs-append behavior on repeated calls, and error modes. An agent could invoke it but not confidently predict the effect.

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 coverage is 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning. It does explain that 'triggers' is a comma-separated string (format not in the schema), but 'id' is never identified as an alert ID and no example trigger values are given.

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?

States a specific verb ('Enable') and resource ('triggers on an alert'), which cleanly separates it from shodan_alert_disable_trigger and shodan_alert_triggers. It never names those siblings explicitly, but the verb+object combination is unambiguous.

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 versus shodan_alert_disable_trigger, no prerequisite that the alert must already exist, and no pointer to shodan_alert_triggers for discovering valid trigger names. The agent must infer all of this.

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