link_reset

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Reset a link (reconnect both ends)', which implies a state change but does not detail side effects (e.g., temporary downtime, loss of settings), permissions required, or idempotency. The description lacks sufficient behavioral context for a mutation tool.

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 very short (one sentence) and front-loaded, but it is too minimal. While concise, it omits essential information that could be added without verbosity (e.g., parameter details, when to use). It earns a middle score for not wasting words but lacking substance.

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 tool has two parameters and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what a 'reset' entails operationally, the effect on the link, or what the output indicates. The context is insufficient for an AI agent to use the tool confidently without external knowledge.

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% (no descriptions in schema), so the description must compensate. However, the description does not mention any parameters (link_id, project_id) or their roles. It adds no additional meaning beyond the bare schema structure.

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 uses the verb 'Reset' and identifies the resource as 'a link', with clarification 'reconnect both ends', making the purpose clear. It differentiates from sibling link tools like link_create, link_delete, link_update, etc., indicating a distinct reconnection action.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., link_update for modifying properties) or any prerequisites or conditions (e.g., link must be disconnected).

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