connect_sender_to_receiver

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

With no annotations, the description discloses the internal steps: pulling SDP, staging with master_enable=true, and immediate activation. However, it does not cover prerequisites or side effects.

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-loading the main action with no wasted 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?

The description explains the process and mentions the return value (active state), but lacks prerequisites or compatibility requirements.

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 while the description uses sender_id and receiver_id in context (e.g., pulling transport file), it does not explicitly define their purpose or constraints beyond the schema.

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 'Connect a Sender to a Receiver' with specific verb and resources, and distinguishes from siblings like bulk_connect by highlighting immediate activation.

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 for one-step connection with activation but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like stage_receiver or bulk_connect.

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