client_resetState

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

Without any annotations, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It only states 'Force reset' but fails to mention side effects such as disconnection, re-authentication needs, irreversibility, or impact on ongoing operations. This is a significant gap for a mutating operation.

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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. It conveys the core action efficiently.

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 tool is simple with one parameter and no output schema, so the description is somewhat adequate. However, it lacks behavioral context, usage guidance, and relationship to sibling tools, making it only minimally complete for an AI agent to select and invoke confidently.

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?

The input schema provides full coverage (100%) for the only parameter, sessionId, with a clear description. The tool description adds no extra parameter information, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 performs a 'force reset' of connection state for the client, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like client_getState (which reads state) and session_restart (which operates at session level). However, it could more explicitly convey the exact scope of 'the client' and what 'reset' entails.

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 such as session_restart, client_getState, or other client/session management tools. The description does not mention use cases, prerequisites, or scenarios where this reset is appropriate, leaving the agent without decision support.

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