Block or unblock a remote

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the mutation action (block/unblock) and the prerequisite, but does not describe any side effects, persistence, or scope of the blocking. The behavior is simple but could be more transparent about whether changes are permanent or session-scoped.

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 two short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, and every word serves a purpose. No wasted text.

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 toggle tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description adequately covers prerequisites and a discovery alternative. It nearly covers all needed context, though a note on scope or persistence would make it complete.

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 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, simply restating that the action uses 'exact name and direction'. 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 tool's action (block or unblock), the resource (Roblox remote), and the constraints (by exact name and direction). It also mentions a prerequisite and an alternative tool for discovery, distinguishing it from siblings.

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 specifies a prerequisite ('Requires ensure-remote-spy first') and suggests using 'get-remote-spy-logs' to discover candidates. This provides clear context for when to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives beyond the discovery step.

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