ads_dashbord_stop

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It usefully clarifies that stopping the settings page does not delete profiles, accounts, or drafts, but it does not describe side effects, permissions, reversibility, or what "stop" does to any running process.

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 two concise sentences with the action front-loaded. Every sentence adds useful information: what the tool does and what it does not delete.

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 zero-parameter local lifecycle tool with no output schema, the description is nearly complete: it identifies the action and clarifies an important non-destructive boundary. It could say more about resulting state or side effects, but no major calling detail is missing.

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 there are no parameter semantics to explain. The description appropriately does not invent parameter guidance, matching the baseline for parameterless tools.

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 states a specific verb and resource: "Stop the local AdsMCP settings page." It clearly distinguishes the tool from its obvious sibling, ads_dashbord_start, by specifying the stop operation on a local settings page.

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 negative clarification ("does not delete Click.ru profiles, Microsoft OAuth profiles, Mastodon accounts or campaign drafts") helps prevent misuse, but the description does not explicitly state when to use this tool, when not to use it beyond deletion, or name an alternative tool.

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