asuswrt_parental_access

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only says 'list or manage,' omitting crucial details such as whether changes are immediate, require confirmation, or are reversible. Destructive actions like 'remove' lack warnings.

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 a single short sentence, but it is under-specified. While concise, it omits essential information, making it less valuable than a balanced, informative description.

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 5 parameters with no descriptions, no output schema, and no annotations, the description fails to provide a complete picture. It does not explain parameter usage, action behaviors, or return values, severely lacking completeness.

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 0%, and the description adds no meaning to parameters like 'mac', 'name', 'confirm', or 'dry_run'. Even with intuitive names, the lack of explanation for 'confirm' and 'dry_run' harms usability.

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 'List or manage AsusWRT parental access rules,' providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from the sibling 'asuswrt_parental_block_all' by implying management of individual rules, but does not explicitly contrast.

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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'asuswrt_parental_block_all' or other management tools. The description solely states the action without context for selection.

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