Ceph Monitors

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

The annotations already flag this as destructive and non-read-only, and the description only restates the action enum from the schema. It adds no extra behavioral context such as side effects, node-scoping implications, prerequisites, or safety caveats about deleting a monitor.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler, and the parenthetical action list is compact. It earns a strong score for structure, though the brevity comes at the cost of useful elaboration.

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 destructive tool with three parameters and no output schema, this description is too thin. It omits return-value expectations, prerequisites, and any warning about what creating or deleting a Ceph monitor actually does, leaving the agent under-informed for correct invocation.

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 coverage is 67%, so the description should compensate for the remaining parameter ambiguity, but it does not. It only repeats the action values already present in the enum and never explains the role of monid, action-dependent requirements, or the meaning of the node parameter.

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 names a clear resource—Ceph monitors—and lists explicit operations (list, create, delete), so an agent can tell what domain the tool covers. However, 'manage' is generic and the description does not explicitly differentiate this tool from related siblings like proxmox_ceph or proxmox_ceph_osd, though the resource name helps.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus the many proxmox_ceph_* siblings, nor any exclusions or alternative recommendations. The only implicit cue is the resource name 'Ceph monitors,' leaving the agent to infer the appropriate context.

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