oracle_reset_session

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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'destroy' (destructive) and 'start fresh' (state change), but it does not elaborate on what exactly is destroyed (e.g., session state, cached data) or whether the action is reversible. More detail would improve transparency.

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 that conveys the essential purpose without any fluff. Every word is necessary, and it is highly 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?

For a zero-parameter tool with an output schema, the description provides adequate context: it states the action and the consequence for the next tool call. However, it could be more precise about what 'fresh' entails (e.g., re-initialization). It is nearly complete.

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?

The tool has no parameters, and the input schema is empty with 100% coverage. The description adds no parameter information, which is acceptable because there are none. Baseline 4 is appropriate as the description does not need to compensate.

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 tool's action: 'Destroy the current oracle session and start fresh on the next tool call.' It uses a specific verb ('destroy') and resource ('oracle session'), and it distinguishes itself from sibling oracle_* tools by uniquely performing a reset.

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 when to use the tool (when a fresh session is needed), but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative sibling tools (e.g., oracle_load_branch, oracle_tm_clear) that might serve similar purposes. No exclusions or comparison to other tools is provided.

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