press_input_properties_button

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'press a button' without mentioning side effects, error conditions, or the nature of the operation (e.g., that it may trigger a reload). The example gives a use case but no behavioral context.

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 extremely concise, front-loaded with the main action, and includes only essential parameter definitions. Every sentence earns its place with no redundancy.

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 two-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and parameters. However, it lacks behavioral details such as what happens when the property is missing or what side effects the button press may have. It is adequate but has clear gaps.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by defining both input_name and property_name in simple terms. It adds an example for property_name, which helps clarify the expected value. This is helpful but not deeply detailed.

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 a specific action (press) on a specific resource (a button in an input's properties) and provides a concrete example (refreshnocache). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_input_properties_list_property_items and open_input_properties_dialog.

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 through the example of refreshing a browser source, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions. The guidance is minimal and inferred rather than explicit.

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