v0.3.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses the basic action (toggling on/off) but, in the absence of annotations, does not clarify side effects, persistence, or state changes beyond the immediate toggle.
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, concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with no unnecessary words or repetition.
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 no-parameter toggle tool, the description is mostly complete, though a brief note on the scope or effect of 'subscriber updates' would enhance 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 no parameters and 100% schema coverage, the description adds no parameter details but is adequate given the simplicity; baseline of 4 applies per zero-param rule.
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 specifies the verb 'toggles' and the resource 'simulated resource subscription updates', making it distinct from sibling tools like 'toggle-simulated-logging'.
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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'toggle-simulated-logging' or other sibling tools. The agent lacks context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
