qbittorrent_toggle_alt_speed

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies a state mutation but never states the resulting state, whether the call is idempotent, or what response the caller gets — meaningful gaps for a toggle tool where knowing the new state matters.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler that names the action and its target. Nothing in it is wasted.

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 toggle with no output schema and no annotations, the description is minimally adequate but omits the post-toggle state and the relationship to the sibling speed-limit setter. It tells the agent what the tool does but not enough to call it confidently in context.

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 takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to clarify and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly implies no input is required.

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?

States a specific verb (toggle) and resource (alternative throttled speed limits), which is clearly distinct from read-only siblings like qbittorrent_get_transfer_info. It does not, however, differentiate itself from the sibling qbittorrent_set_speed_limits, which an agent could reasonably confuse with this tool.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this versus qbittorrent_set_speed_limits or any other speed-related sibling. It also doesn't state the outcome of the toggle (whether it returns the resulting state) or whether a pre-existing alt-speed configuration is required.

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