models-set_visibility

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

Discloses ownership requirement and consequence of public visibility. Lacks details on side effects (e.g., reversible, propagation to instances) and no annotations to supplement. Adequate but not comprehensive.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with verb and resource. No unnecessary words. 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?

For a two-parameter no-output tool, the description covers purpose, access control, and value semantics. Missing error scenarios but acceptable for this simplicity.

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?

Schema already provides full descriptions for both parameters. The description adds context on visibility implications but does not significantly extend meaning beyond schema. Baseline score applies.

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 ('sets model visibility') and explains the effect of each visibility value (public vs private). This distinguishes it from siblings like models-update which likely modify other properties.

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?

Indicates that only the owner can change visibility, providing a clear precondition. Does not explicitly mention alternative tools or when not to use, but the specificity makes usage context clear.

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