Bosch Smart Home Camera MCP Server

by mosandlt

bosch_camera_audio_set

Set microphone and speaker volume levels on compatible Bosch Gen2 cameras (range 0-100). Returns updated audio state.

Instructions

Set the microphone level and/or speaker level for one Gen2 camera.

Only for cameras with featureSupport.sound=true (Gen2 Indoor II and Gen2 Outdoor II). Raises hardware_unsupported for cameras without audio hardware. At least one of mic_level or speaker_level must be provided.

Both values must be in the range 0-100. The API persists the full audio payload — unspecified fields are preserved from the current camera state.

Returns updated {microphone_level, speaker_level, intercom_enabled} after write.

Behavior5/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description fully discloses: hardware unsupported error, range constraints, persistence of unspecified fields, and return value structure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise but slightly dense; could be broken into bullet points, but all information is front-loaded and every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers prerequisites, errors, constraints, behavior with unspecified fields, and return fields. Output schema exists, but description sufficiently describes return structure.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 0% description coverage, but the description explains parameter roles, optional nature, range (0-100), and at-least-one requirement, adding substantial meaning.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool sets microphone and/or speaker levels for Gen2 cameras with specific feature support, distinguishing it from siblings like bosch_camera_audio_get which retrieves levels.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly specifies conditions (featureSupport.sound=true), raises hardware_unsupported otherwise, and requires at least one of mic_level/speaker_level. Lacks explicit alternatives but provides clear context.

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