nexo_drive_dismiss

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

The description clarifies that the tool archives rather than deletes, which is helpful. However, with no annotations, it fails to disclose other behavioral traits like reversibility, permissions, or side effects.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and an immediate usage guideline. No wasted words.

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?

For a simple tool with two required params and no output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: what it does and when to use it. It lacks info about return value, but that is not critical given the tool's simplicity.

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 100% with both parameters described adequately in the input schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 verb 'Dismiss' and the resource 'drive signal', and adds the crucial clarification that it archives rather than deletes. This is specific enough to distinguish it from potential deletion tools.

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 provides clear guidance on when to use the tool ('when a signal is not worth investigating'), but does not mention when not to use it or alternatives (e.g., nexo_drive_act or nexo_drive_reinforce).

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