Set channel solo

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

Annotations already provide idempotentHint and other flags. The description adds the mapping of state=True to solo, which clarifies the boolean's effect. No contradictions with annotations.

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?

Single sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with verb and resource. No extraneous information.

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?

The description is complete for a simple toggle operation with two parameters. Output schema exists but not mentioned, which is acceptable. No explanation of error conditions or return values, but the simplicity minimizes the need.

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%, so description must compensate. It explains the state parameter's meaning ('state=True solos') but does not clarify the channel parameter (e.g., 0-based index or range). Partial compensation.

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 action (solo/unsolo) and resource (channel-rack channel). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like fl_set_channel_mute and fl_solo_tracks by specifying 'channel-rack channel' and using a boolean state parameter.

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 soloing/unsoloing a channel but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like fl_clear_mute_solo or fl_solo_tracks. It lacks when-not-to-use or prerequisites.

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