steer_campaign

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

No annotations provided. The description lacks detail on side effects, permissions, or data mutability. It only states it changes direction and updates strategy, which is minimal.

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?

Description is short with two sentences and an Args section. It is concise and front-loaded, no wasted words.

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 only two simple parameters and an output schema, the description covers the basics. However, lacks detail on behavioral context and how it interacts with sibling tools.

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?

Adds basic meaning to parameters (id as UUID, guidance as new direction/constraints), but nothing beyond a brief one-liner. Schema coverage is 0%, so description provides some value but is still sparse.

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 verb 'change' and 'updates' with the resource 'campaign direction' and 'strategy'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_campaign or cancel_campaign.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like pause_campaign or resume_campaign. No mention of prerequisites or when not to use.

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