snowflake_disconnect

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions return value and daemon requirement, but lacks details on side effects, idempotency, or behavior if session is already disconnected. Adequate but not thorough.

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 with four short sentences, each adding value. It front-loads the action and includes essential details without fluff.

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?

For a simple disconnect tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the action, identification, prerequisite, and return value. It could mention error handling or safety of repeated calls, but overall it is complete enough for the agent to use correctly.

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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description reiterates the parameters 'account' and 'user' but does not add new constraints or format details beyond what the schema provides.

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 'disconnect/evict' and the resource 'multiplexed Snowflake session' identified by account and user. It distinguishes from siblings like snowflake_query and snowflake_sessions, which are for querying or listing sessions.

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 specifies the prerequisite 'Requires a running daemon' and mentions the return value (boolean). However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like snowflake_sessions, nor does it provide exclusion scenarios.

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