Instrument MCP Server

by zeng-andrew

cmw_set_tpc_mode

Configures the uplink transmit power control (TPC) mode on CMW test instruments, allowing adjustment of power control parameters via alias and JSON input for wireless device characterization.

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations only indicate destructiveHint false. The description does not add behavioral details, such as what the TPC mode entails, side effects, or prerequisites. With minimal annotation support, the description should provide more transparency but fails to do so.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very brief at one line, which is concise. However, it sacrifices necessary detail, making it minimally adequate. It could be improved by structuring information without adding excessive length.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity of setting an uplink power control mode on a CMW device, the description is incomplete. It does not explain mode options, default behavior, or interaction with other tools. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for this lack of context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the two parameters 'alias' and 'params_json'. The tool's purpose is stated generically, but parameter meanings are completely absent, failing to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb '设置' (set) and the resource '上行功率控制模式' (uplink power control mode), making the tool's purpose evident. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like cmw_set_band or cmw_set_bandwidth, which also start with '设置'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or situations where this tool should or should not be used.

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