config__open_relay

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

With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses that the tool opens a browser, returns the relay URL, browser launch status, and current status. It does not hide side effects, though it could mention if any persistent state changes occur.

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 with no redundancy. The first sentence immediately states the core action and target, and the second lists return values. Every word earns its place.

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, parameterless tool with an output schema, the description sufficiently covers the action, side effect (browser launch), and returned fields. The output schema handles return value details, so the description is 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?

The input schema has zero parameters, so there is no need to describe them. The description adds value by explaining the purpose and outputs beyond the schema. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and the description does not waste space on nonexistent params.

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?

Description clearly states the tool opens the relay configuration form in the user's browser, specifying the exact resource and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like config, which may handle general configuration, by focusing on relay-specific setup.

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 implies usage for opening the relay configuration, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like config or when not to use it. The context is clear for a single-purpose tool, but lacks explicit guidance.

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