asuswrt_parental_block_all

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. 'Toggle' implies enabling or disabling, but it doesn't explain whether the mode is activated/deactivated permanently or temporarily, what the impact is (e.g., blocking all internet access), or the role of the `confirm` parameter as a safety mechanism. The description lacks critical context for safe usage.

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, which is concise but at the expense of necessary detail. It is front-loaded but fails to earn its place by omitting essential information about parameters and behavior.

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 tool with 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain parameters, return value, side effects, or any prerequisites. The agent cannot invoke this tool correctly without additional knowledge.

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%, so the description must compensate. It provides no explanation for any of the three parameters (`enabled`, `confirm`, `dry_run`). The agent has no guidance on what values to pass or their effects, leading to potential misuse.

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 action ('Toggle') and the target resource ('parental-control block-all mode'), making it easy to understand the tool's function. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool `asuswrt_parental_access`, which might handle per-device controls, but the name itself distinguishes enough.

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. There is no mention of preconditions, when not to use it, or comparison with related tools like `asuswrt_parental_access`. The agent has no 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.
