Behavior3/5

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. The '[WRITE]' prefix and 'Run' verb indicate a mutating operation, but the description does not state whether this triggers an immediate execution, whether it requires the system to be in a certain state, or what side effects occur (e.g., backups overwrite or append). It is adequate but lacks detail.

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?

The description is short and front-loaded with the action and intent. It uses a single sentence that conveys the core purpose without unnecessary words. The '[WRITE]' prefix is a useful signal for the agent. It could be slightly more precise but is well-structured.

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?

Given 2 well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate for basic usage. However, it does not explain what happens after triggering the backup (e.g., whether it returns success/failure, or requires polling), or how it relates to backup schedules. It falls short of being fully self-contained for a complex operation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema already has 100% description coverage with two parameters ('uuid' and 'storage_uuid'), each well-documented with patterns and lengths. The description states 'for a service storage' which clarifies that 'storage_uuid' refers to a specific storage entity. While the description does not add much beyond the schema, the schema itself is clear, earning a score above baseline.

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 uses a specific verb ('Run') and resource ('on-demand backup for a service storage'), clearly stating what the tool does. It is distinguished from siblings like coolify_set_service_storage_backup and coolify_delete_service_storage_backup by the 'run' action, but could be more explicit about the scope.

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?

The '[WRITE]' prefix hints that this is a mutation tool, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., coolify_list_backup_executions for monitoring, coolify_set_service_storage_backup for configuration). No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned. The context of on-demand backups is implied but not elaborated.

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