minimize_window

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

The annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds no behavioral detail beyond the action itself. It does not disclose what happens when the window ID is invalid, whether the operation is synchronous, or what state changes occur beyond minimization.

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 one short sentence with no filler: the verb, resource, and relevant parameter are all stated immediately. Nothing could be trimmed without losing meaning.

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 simple one-parameter tool, this is minimally viable: the function, the target, and the required input are all clear. However, it lacks guidance on where to obtain a valid window ID, any return or error behavior, and the relationship to sibling window-management tools, so it is not fully complete.

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 must compensate, but it only restates the parameter as 'window ID.' It does not explain the expected string format, how to discover a valid ID, or platform-specific behavior, so it adds little meaning beyond the schema's window_id property name.

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 states a specific action ('Minimize') and a clear resource ('a window'), and identifies the required input ('by window ID'). It is more informative than a tautology and can be distinguished from siblings like close_window by its verb, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use minimize_window versus related tools such as active_window, close_window, or close_application. It does not mention prerequisites, such as first obtaining a valid window ID from active_window, or when minimizing is preferable to closing or switching windows.

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