set_interactive_viewer_denoising

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It reveals the basic toggle action but omits behavioral context: whether the viewer must be running first, whether this affects only the current session, any side effects on rendering, or what happens if the viewer_id is invalid.

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 sentence with no filler. The verb, target, and toggle behavior are all front-loaded and every word earns its place.

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?

The description is minimally adequate for a simple two-parameter boolean setter: schema already supplies the required parameters and types. But with no annotations and no output schema, an agent still lacks guidance on preconditions and expected outcomes, such as whether an active viewer is required or what response indicates success.

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 adds meaning by tying the action to 'live standalone viewer denoising' and clarifying 'on or off', which maps to the enabled boolean. However, it does not explicitly explain viewer_id, though that parameter is reasonably inferable from the tool name and context.

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 uses a specific verb ('Turn') and names a clear resource ('live standalone viewer denoising') with an explicit binary action ('on or off'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like set_interactive_viewer_exposure or switch_interactive_viewer_aov.

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 use case is implied by the action: call this when you want to explicitly enable or disable denoising in the live standalone viewer. However, it does not describe when this is appropriate versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites such as an already-launched viewer.

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