rollback_model

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It discloses a concrete side-effect sequence: closes the model, restores the file, and reopens it. It does not warn about potential data loss or failure cases, but it meaningfully reveals the operation's behavior.

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?

Two sentences with no filler. The main purpose is front-loaded, and the behavioral sequence is stated compactly in the second sentence.

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 two-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the operation sequence and connects backup_file to list_model_backups. Explicit risk warnings and invalid-backup behavior would be useful additions, but the essential invocation context is present.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies backup_file's source (list_model_backups) and default behavior ('latest backup'), but model_id is only inferable from its name and title.

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 names a specific verb ('Restore'), a concrete resource ('a model'), and a source ('backup file'). It also distinguishes the tool from siblings like list_model_backups or open_model by describing the close/restore/reopen cycle.

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?

It gives concrete usage guidance: omit backup_file to use the latest backup, or pass a value obtained from list_model_backups. It doesn't explicitly state when not to use this tool versus open_model/close_model, but the context is clear and the backup-file source is named.

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