Set mixer track mute

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

Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true (setting same state is safe) and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that state=True means mute, which is consistent. No further behavioral details (e.g., error handling, track existence) are provided, but annotations already cover key traits.

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 sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with the action 'Mute or unmute'. No extraneous information; every word is essential.

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 simple parameters (integer, boolean) and an output schema (not shown), the description might suffice for a basic toggle, but it lacks details on track indexing, scope (selected track?), or interaction with other mute states. Adequate but not thorough.

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 only clarifies that state=True mutes, but does not explain the track parameter (e.g., indexing, valid range) or any output. Minimal added semantic value.

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 it mutes or unmutes a mixer track with state=True indicating mute. Among siblings like fl_mute_tracks, fl_set_channel_mute, this tool is specifically for individual mixer tracks, making it distinct.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like fl_mute_tracks (for multiple tracks) or fl_set_channel_mute (for channels). No context on prerequisites or typical use cases.

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