skip_schedule

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

The description adds value beyond annotations: it explains that the flag applies only to the next occurrence and details the effect of 'disabled=true/false'. Annotations already indicate it's a non-read, non-destructive, idempotent operation, so the description complements these without contradiction.

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 concise, with the purpose stated in the first line. The addition of a usage example and parameter list is justified, though the parameter documentation could be more integrated. Overall, it is well-structured and front-loaded.

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 the tool's simplicity (two required parameters, boolean operation) and the presence of an output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does, its scope ('next occurrence'), and parameter semantics. No gaps remain for agent understanding.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by providing an 'Args' section that explains both 'schedule_id' (UUID) and 'disabled' (True to skip, False to re-enable), adding essential meaning absent from the input schema.

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 tool toggles the skip-next-run flag on a schedule, using a specific verb ('Toggle') and resource ('skip-next-run flag'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'update_schedule' or 'run_schedule'.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'run_schedule' or 'skip_current_zone'. It only describes the effect, leaving the agent to infer usage context without explicit exclusions or recommendations.

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