set_or_delete_cue

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

The description does not disclose key behaviors such as whether it toggles, how it decides between set and delete, or what happens if a cue already exists at the position. With no annotations, the description fails to provide sufficient behavioral context.

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 concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the action and immediately clear.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description omits crucial context about the tool's conditional behavior (set vs delete) and does not hint at the return value. For a tool with no parameters, the description should explain the toggle logic to be complete.

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?

There are no parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description provides no additional parameter meaning, but the baseline is 3 as per guidelines for high schema coverage. No extra credit given as the description does not elaborate on the set/delete semantics.

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 tool can set or delete a cue point at the current playback position. The verb and resource are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like jump_to_cue_point or get_cue_points.

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 compared to other cue-related tools. It does not specify when it sets vs deletes, nor does it mention alternatives or prerequisites.

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