set_low_balance_alert

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

The description discloses that setting the threshold triggers email alerts on balance drops. However, with no annotations, it does not mention authorization needs, idempotency, or whether it overwrites existing thresholds. It provides basic but not comprehensive behavioral detail.

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?

Two concise sentences front-load the purpose and effect. No redundant or unnecessary words.

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 simple setter with three parameters and no output schema, the description explains the outcome (email alerts). It is nearly complete, though it could note that this is a write 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 coverage is 100%, and the description adds little beyond the schema. It restates the unit (wei) already in the threshold_wei description, but does not explain the relationship between parameters or provide additional constraints.

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 (set threshold), the resource (KMS contract wallet), the unit (wei), and the consequence (email alerts when balance drops below). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like check_balance or set_auto_recharge.

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 like set_auto_recharge or check_balance. Missing prerequisites or context for proper usage.

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