B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations declare a non-read-only, idempotent, non-destructive toggle, and the description usefully adds what static mode means (skills list frozen at startup). It does not say when the freeze takes effect (immediate vs restart) or whether the setting persists, which matters for a config toggle.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

One sentence, front-loaded with the action and followed by the clarifying definition of static mode. No filler.

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

Completeness3/5

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

An output schema exists so return values need no explanation, and the toggle's effect is described. However, for a config mutation an agent still lacks timing/persistence details and any reason to choose this over related skill-config tools.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The single 'enabled' boolean is fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), and the description's verb pair 'enable or disable' maps cleanly onto it. No additional semantics beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb (enable/disable) and resource (static mode), plus parenthetical explanation of what static mode does ('freezes skills list at startup'). Distinguishable from sibling config tools by its static-mode subject, though it does not explicitly contrast with any sibling.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to enable vs disable static mode, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives among the many skill-config-* siblings. The agent must infer intent from the name alone.

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