clikta_finish_recording

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosure. It transparently states that the tool stops recording, generates, publishes, returns a link, and closes the browser — including the significant side effect of closing the browser. It does not mention potential failures or irreversible actions, but the disclosed behaviors are clear and important.

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 only two sentences, with the primary purpose front-loaded and the consequential 'Closes the browser' stated separately for emphasis. Every word contributes meaning, making it appropriately concise without losing important behavioral details.

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 that the tool has no parameters, no output schema, and is a terminal action in the recording workflow, the description covers the essential context: what it stops, what it generates, what it returns, and that it closes the browser. It could optionally mention that subsequent tool calls will fail because the browser is closed, but that is reasonably inferred from the explicit 'Closes the browser' statement.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so the schema already conveys full parameter information. Per the rubric, a baseline of 4 applies for zero-parameter tools. The description adds value by explaining what the tool does with the existing recording context, so no additional parameter semantics are needed.

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 opens with a strong verb phrase 'Stop the active recording' and clearly specifies the full outcome: generate an AI guide/demo, publish it, and return a shareable link. This distinguishes it unambiguously from sibling tools like clikta_start_recording or clikta_screenshot, which serve earlier or supporting steps in the workflow.

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 phrase 'Stop the active recording' implies the tool should be used after a recording has been started, giving clear context for when it applies. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the sequential relationship to sibling tools is evident and sufficient for most agents.

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