voicebox_set_channel_voices

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

No annotations provided, so description must carry full burden. It implies mutation but does not disclose side effects (overwrite vs append), permission requirements, or behavior with invalid inputs. Minimal transparency.

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?

Single sentence, directly states purpose without any filler. Highly efficient for a simple assignment operation.

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 is too minimal for a mutation tool. Missing context on consequences, error conditions, and relationship to sibling tools. Not complete enough for confident invocation.

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 has 100% coverage with basic descriptions. Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, but since coverage is high, baseline 3 is appropriate. Parameter descriptions are adequate but not enriched.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'assign' and the resources 'voice profiles' and 'channel'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like voicebox_get_channel_voices (retrieve) and voicebox_set_profile_channels (assign channels to profiles).

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites (e.g., channel existence, profile existence) or whether it overwrites or appends assignments. Sibling tools do similar operations but no comparative context.

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