restart_deployment

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the allowlist restriction but lacks details on effects like downtime, pod restart behavior, or safety considerations. The term 'Rollout-restart' suggests a rolling restart but is not fully explained.

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 sentence, concise and to the point. It includes an important constraint without excess words. However, it could be structured to list key information more clearly.

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 the moderate complexity of a restart operation and the presence of an output schema (not described), the description lacks completeness. It omits prerequisites, exact behavior, return values, and any usage scenarios. The allowlist restriction is helpful but insufficient.

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 0% and the description adds no explanation for the two required parameters (namespace, name). The mention of 'mutable-namespace allowlist' vaguely relates to namespace but does not clarify its meaning or provide any parameter-level semantics.

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 'Rollout-restart a deployment' with a specific verb and resource. The mention of 'mutable-namespace allowlist' identifies a scope restriction, distinguishing it from sibling tools like scale_deployment.

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 implies use only on deployments in the allowlist but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like scale_deployment or delete_pod. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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