Rename server

server_rename

Rename a Pterodactyl server and optionally update its description so panel entries stay accurate and identifiable.

Instructions

Change the server's name and optionally its description.

Tool call template

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it does not state whether the rename requires specific permissions, whether it is reversible, whether the server identifier changes, or what side effects occur. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant disclosure gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single efficient sentence with the key action front-loaded and no wasted words. It is terse but structurally sound; the missing detail belongs to other dimensions rather than being a failure of conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

A seven-parameter mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and partial schema coverage needs more context than this. The description omits the connection/panel parameters and the server identifier argument, so an agent must rely entirely on the schema to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 57%, yet the description mentions only the name and description fields. It says nothing about the required server identifier, the panel selector, or the inline baseUrl/clientKey/applicationKey overrides, leaving half the parameters with no description-level explanation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: changing the server's name with optional description. An agent can tell what it does, though it doesn't distinguish this rename from any similarly named sibling operation or note that it's the server-level rename rather than a file rename.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives no guidance on when to use this versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The only implied usage is 'rename a server,' which is already evident from the name and title.

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