Publish dashboard version

publish_dashboard_version
Idempotent

Make a saved version of a dashboard the live one (also to roll back). The dashboard keeps its URL and visibility.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is partly covered. The description adds a genuinely useful fact – URL and visibility are preserved – but is silent on whether the previously live version is replaced, whether permissions are required, and what effect publishing has on alerts or jobs.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two short sentences, no filler, and the core action is front-loaded with the rollback case in parentheses before the persistence note.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a two-parameter mutation tool with annotations and no output schema, this covers the action, the rollback scenario, and a key side effect (URL/visibility unchanged). Only the fate of the previously live version is left unexplained.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters carry descriptions in the schema, so the description adds nothing about parameters beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb-plus-resource: making a saved dashboard version live, with the rollback use case spelled out. It is distinguishable from list_dashboard_versions and update_dashboard, though it does not name those siblings explicitly.

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?

"Also to roll back" implies the two main situations for use, and the version param description points to list_dashboard_versions or update_dashboard as sources. But there is no explicit when-not guidance or named alternative for restoring vs. updating a dashboard.

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