set_track_input_routing

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only notes 'Uses AbletonOSC directly' and does not mention safety (e.g., destructive nature, prerequisites, or error handling), leaving significant gaps.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the action, and contains no filler. Every word adds utility.

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 no annotations and a two-parameter schema with 0% coverage, the description is too brief. It fails to explain return values, error states, or preconditions, making it incomplete for an agent to use robustly.

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 coverage is 0% and the description adds no meaning beyond parameter names. It gives two examples for 'routing_type' but no full list or constraints, leaving the agent to guess valid values.

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 'Set track input routing type' with specific examples ('Ext. In', 'No Input'), and the name distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'set_track_output_routing'.

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 description implies usage for setting input routing, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_track_routing_info' or 'set_track_output_routing'.

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