chrome_extension_reload

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

Annotations already flag this as non-read-only, destructive, non-idempotent and open-world. The description usefully adds that the extension is loaded 'from disk' and that a version is reported back, but it does not warn that reloading can interrupt an active browser session or require the extension to already be installed.

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 no filler; every clause carries information (what is reloaded, from where, the precondition, and the returned datum).

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?

There is no output schema, but the description explains that the new version is reported. With zero parameters and annotations covering the safety profile, the only minor gap is what happens if the extension is absent or a session is active.

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 the baseline is 4. There is nothing for the description to clarify, and it does not introduce confusion about inputs.

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 (reload) and resource (the Free Codin Agent Chrome extension), plus the side effect (report the new version). This is clearly distinguishable from siblings like chrome_status or chrome_pairing_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 parenthetical '(after it was updated)' gives a clear triggering condition, so the agent knows when this is appropriate. No explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance, but no sibling overlaps this operation either.

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