CliDeck MCP — Network Knowledge

Review Network Change

review_network_change

Idempotent

Deterministic advisory review of commands or a configuration diff. It always returns available guidance and never executes a command. Missing or incomplete knowledge may create or update a tracked research demand.

B3.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With annotations present, the description adds real value beyond them: it guarantees 'always returns available guidance and never executes a command' and discloses the side effect that missing knowledge 'may create or update a tracked research demand'. This explains why readOnlyHint=false despite no command execution, resolving an otherwise confusing annotation pairing. It does not cover rate limits or output shape, so not a 5.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three compact sentences with the core purpose front-loaded and no filler. The side-effect disclosure is appropriately placed last. Slightly dense but every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, and the behavioral disclosure is solid. But for a four-parameter tool with an undescribed nested context object, the absence of any guidance on how to populate intent/context/commands/config_diff leaves a real gap for correct invocation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% across four parameters including a nested context object, so the description carries the full burden. It alludes to 'commands' and 'a configuration diff' (matching two params) but says nothing about the required 'intent' and 'context' fields or what belongs in the runtime_mode/model/vendor context, leaving half the parameters undocumented.

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 names a specific verb (review, advisory) and resource (commands or a configuration diff), making the operation concrete. It does not explicitly differentiate from the very similar sibling verify_network_change, so it falls short of a 5, but the 'advisory, non-executing' framing is distinguishable.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by 'advisory review of commands or a configuration diff' and 'never executes a command', which suggests pre-application review. However, it never states when to prefer this over verify_network_change or advise_network_upgrade, nor any prerequisites, leaving the agent to infer the routing.

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