Disconnect from SSH

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

The description states that it 'closes an active SSH connection', which is a behavioral effect beyond the generic annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). However, it does not disclose what happens if no active connection exists, whether it affects other sessions, or any side effects like terminating running processes. With annotations present, the description adds a little context but not enough for full transparency.

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 only two sentences and wastes no words. The key action is front-loaded ('Disconnect from SSH') immediately followed by a clarifying clause. Every word earns its place, making it exemplary in brevity and structure.

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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core action. However, it omits edge-case behavior (e.g., what happens when there is no active SSH connection, whether the tool is safe to call repeatedly) and does not mention any related tools or preconditions. Given the tool's simplicity, the description is adequate but leaves some contextual gaps.

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 tool has zero parameters and the schema is empty (100% coverage). Per the calibration baseline, a description need not add parameter details when there are none. The description is consistent with the schema and does not need to compensate for missing parameter information.

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 verb ('Disconnect') and the resource ('an active SSH connection for file manager'). It is specific enough to distinguish from sibling tools like termix_tunnels_disconnect_ssh_tunnel or termix_docker_disconnect_ssh_session, though it does not explicitly name the alternatives. The title and description align well, making the purpose immediately understandable.

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 termix_files_connect_ssh_file_management or termix_tunnels_disconnect_ssh_tunnel. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., an active file-manager SSH session), nor does it explain when this tool is preferable to disconnecting a tunnel or checking status first. The intended use is implied by the name but not explicitly stated.

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