trigger_hotkey_by_key_sequence

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

The description mentions simulating key presses, but with no annotations it fails to disclose safety concerns, reversibility, system-wide effects, or error behavior. For an action tool, this is a significant transparency gap.

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 short and well-organized with an Args block. Every sentence contributes useful information, though the brevity leaves gaps that hurt other dimensions.

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 an action tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description lacks return behavior, error handling, and context for choosing this over trigger_hotkey_by_name. The absence of any mention of effects or limitations makes it incomplete.

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 description adds brief meanings for all five parameters—key_id as an OBS key ID and shift/control/alt/command as modifiers to hold. Since schema coverage is 0%, this is helpful, but key_id remains an opaque reference to an external header and modifier details are minimal.

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 triggers a hotkey by simulating a key press plus modifiers, which is a specific verb+resource. It differentiates from the sibling trigger_hotkey_by_name by emphasizing the key sequence mechanism, though it does not explicitly name the alternative.

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 given on when to use this tool versus trigger_hotkey_by_name or other hotkey-related tools. It does not state prerequisites, exclusions, or typical scenarios.

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