Enable Price Alert

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

The description does not add any behavioral traits beyond what annotations already provide. Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, but the description does not elaborate on side effects or implications.

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, concise sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool with one parameter.

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 straightforward tool, the description is minimally sufficient. However, given sibling tools like alert_disable, additional context on what 'enable' entails (e.g., reactivating a disabled alert) would improve completeness.

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 no further meaning to the parameter beyond its schema description. Baseline score of 3 applies as the description is neutral.

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 it enables a price alert using an alert_id. The verb 'enable' and resource 'price alert' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like alert_add, alert_delete, and alert_disable.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as alert_disable or alert_add. The description does not mention context, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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