debug_disconnect

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

The description reveals only the basic action (disconnect and terminate) without any side effects, safety considerations, or post-conditions. Without annotations, the agent lacks information about reconnection possibilities, impact on breakpoints, or resource cleanup.

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, coherent sentence of 6 words with no extraneous information. Every word adds value, and the structure is front-loaded with the action.

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 no parameters or output schema, the description is functional but minimal. It does not explain when to disconnect (e.g., after debugging is complete) or what happens to the debugger state, leaving the agent with incomplete context for decision-making.

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?

There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. However, no further parameter context is needed.

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 a specific action: 'Disconnect the debugger and terminate the debuggee.' It uses a distinct verb (disconnect) and resource (debugger/debuggee), and it is easily distinguishable from sibling tools like debug_attach or debug_continue.

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. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical workflow context, or exclusions. The agent is left to infer usage based solely on the action description.

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