obsbot_preset_update

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

Discloses that the tool overwrites (destructive action), requires pre-existing slot, and performs verification by re-reading after writing. No annotations present so the description carries full burden; good coverage of behavioral traits.

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?

Three concise sentences with no redundancy. First sentence states purpose, second adds prerequisite, third adds verification. Front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Given 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers key aspects: overwrite behavior, prerequisite, and verification. Missing details on error handling or return value, but sufficient for a simple update tool.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds value by explaining that 'slot' accepts values 1, 2, or 3 and corresponds to preset slots. However, the 'camera' parameter is not elaborated, leaving a gap.

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 ('overwrite'), the resource ('preset slot 1|2|3'), and the target state ('current live pose'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like obsbot_preset_save (which creates) and obsbot_preset_recall (which reads).

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?

Explicitly states prerequisite: 'the slot must already be occupied (save first to create it)'. Also mentions verification step. No direct comparison to alternatives, but context from sibling names provides differentiation.

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