prepare_vpn_debug_pack

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

No annotations provided; description does not disclose key behaviors (e.g., read-only vs destructive, required permissions, output format). Only states it 'builds' a pack without details.

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?

Single sentence with clear purpose but lacks necessary detail. Conciseness is achieved by omitting critical information.

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?

Description fails to explain key aspects: parameter meanings, output, return values, or when to use among many sibling pack tools. Incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters and no output schema.

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 has three parameters with 0% description coverage; description does not mention any parameter names, purposes, or constraints. No value added beyond the bare schema.

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?

Description clearly states the tool builds a 'documentation-backed checklist and source pack for VPN troubleshooting', specifying the resource (VPN) and action (build pack). Differentiates from siblings by mentioning VPN, though similar pack tools exist.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus other debug pack tools (e.g., prepare_auth_debug_pack). No context on prerequisites or ideal scenarios.

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