nexo_local_index_control

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

No annotations provided, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as destructive actions (clear_index), state changes (pause/resume), or side effects. The minimal text offers no transparency beyond the name.

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?

Extremely short (4 words) but under-specified for a tool with multiple actions and parameters. Important details are missing, and the structure does not front-load key information.

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 the tool's complexity (multiple actions, parameters, no output schema), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, side effects, or usage patterns, leaving significant gaps for the agent.

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 has 100% description coverage, so the schema already defines all parameters. The description adds no additional meaning or context, failing to enhance understanding beyond what is already in the schema.

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 states the tool controls the local memory index, but 'control' is vague. It does not specify the possible actions like run_once, pause, resume, clear_index, set_performance, which are detailed in the schema. It distinguishes from siblings like nexo_local_index_status but lacks specificity.

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 versus alternative index-related tools (e.g., nexo_local_index_purge, nexo_index_add_dir). The description does not provide context or exclusions, leaving the agent without direction.

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