set_torrent_labels

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. While 'Set' implies a mutation operation, it doesn't specify whether this overwrites existing labels or merges with them, what permissions are required, whether changes are reversible, or if there are rate limits. The description provides minimal behavioral context beyond the basic action.

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?

The description is extremely concise at just 5 words, front-loading the core action and target. There's zero wasted language or redundancy, making it efficient for quick comprehension while still conveying the essential purpose.

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?

Given a mutation tool with 2 parameters (0% schema coverage), no annotations, and sibling tools that perform related operations, the description is inadequate. While an output schema exists (which might help with return values), the description fails to address critical context like parameter semantics, behavioral implications, or differentiation from similar tools, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent.

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 description coverage is 0%, meaning neither parameter has documentation in the schema. The description mentions 'labels for a torrent' which hints at the 'labels' parameter purpose, but provides no information about 'torrent_id' format or requirements, nor details about label syntax, constraints, or examples. The description adds minimal value beyond the parameter names visible in the schema.

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 ('Set') and target resource ('labels for a torrent'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'add_torrent' or 'move_torrent' which also modify torrent properties, leaving room for confusion about when to choose this specific tool.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'add_torrent' (which might include label setting) and 'remove_torrent' (which might affect labels), there's no indication of appropriate contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions for using set_torrent_labels.

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