Resend the SSL certificate validation email

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

The annotations already indicate non-read-only, non-idempotent behavior, and the description adds that the tool 'returns nothing on success' and that it resends an email. This gives useful behavioral context beyond the annotations, though it does not elaborate on potential side effects like duplicate emails or failure modes.

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 two concise sentences with no redundant information. It packs the action, the condition, the return behavior, and the alternative tool reference into a tight, easily parsed format.

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 simple resend action, the description is complete: it states what happens, when to use it, what to do in the related wrong-address case, and what the success return is. The sibling-tool context reinforces the surrounding workflow without requiring more detail.

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 input schema provides 100% coverage with detailed descriptions for all three parameters, including where to obtain each ID. The top-level description does not add significant parameter-level meaning beyond saying 'one certificate name', so it stays at the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 states the action ('Sends the validation email'), the target ('one certificate name'), and the recipient ('to its approver'). It also distinguishes itself from the sibling tool eurodns_ssl_update_validation_approver by explicitly noting that changing a wrong address should be done there first.

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 an explicit condition for use ('when the approver did not receive it') and an explicit alternative for a different scenario ('if the address itself is wrong, change it first with eurodns_ssl_update_validation_approver'). This leaves no ambiguity about when to choose this tool.

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