cloud_insts_ifaces_det

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic action (detaching) without mentioning side effects, prerequisites (e.g., instance state), or consequences. This is insufficient for an agent to assess impact.

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 moderately concise but mixes an informal parameter list with a separate note, lacking structured formatting. It could be streamlined by listing all parameters clearly, though it avoids excessive verbosity.

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?

Given 9 parameters, 5 required, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should provide comprehensive guidance. It misses documenting key required parameters and behavioral aspects, leaving significant gaps for an agent.

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 description lists some parameters (ip_address, port_id, extra_*) but omits required ones like instance_id, project_id, and region_id from the parameter list. The note about ID resolution helps but does not cover the missing parameter names, leaving the agent confused about required inputs.

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 tool name and the first sentence 'Detach interface from instance' clearly state the specific action and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like cloud_insts_ifaces_att (attach) and cloud_insts_ifaces_ls (list).

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 note provides guidance on resolving project and region IDs, which aids in parameter usage. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over others (e.g., detach vs list) or include when-not conditions. Usage context is implied but not fully elaborated.

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