bunny_update_dns_zone

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds a little context by enumerating which settings are common, but it does not reveal update semantics such as whether the settings object is merged or replaces existing values, nor does it mention response behavior.

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 focused sentence with a compact, front-loaded field list. Every part contributes: the verb, the resource, and the key parameter vocabulary. There is no filler or irrelevant detail.

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 two-parameter update tool with annotations covering safety and idempotence, the description is mostly adequate. However, it lacks a crucial behavioral detail: whether providing a partial settings object updates only those fields or clears absent ones. It also does not mention what response to expect, though no output schema exists to fill that gap.

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?

The schema only describes 'id' as a DNS Zone ID and 'settings' as a generic settings object. The description adds meaningful parameter semantics by listing concrete PascalCase field names (CustomNameserversEnabled, Nameserver1, etc.), which helps an agent construct the settings object more accurately.

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 clearly identifies the verb ('Update') and resource ('DNS zone settings'), and it narrows the purpose by listing example settings. It is not as sharp as explicitly distinguishing the tool from sibling DNS operations like bunny_create_dns_zone or bunny_manage_dns_record, but the resource scope is unambiguous.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as creating, deleting, or managing DNS records. It implies that you use it to change an existing zone's settings, but it never states prerequisites, exclusions, or better-suited sibling tools.

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