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

No annotations provided, so description must fully convey behavior. It mentions mutation but doesn't specify partial vs full update, side effects, or prerequisites for SSL/redirect settings. Gaps in behavioral context.

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, minimal waste. First sentence informative; second sentence provides HTTP method and category which may help, though could be integrated. Efficient overall.

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?

No annotations, no output schema, minimal parameter info. Description fails to specify request body, response format, or validation rules. Incomplete for a mutation tool with no schema support for mentioned fields.

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?

Description implies additional updatable fields (document root, SSL, redirect) but input schema only has 'id'. Schema coverage is 100% on given schema, but description adds meaning unsupported by schema, causing confusion. No guidance on body parameters for actual update content.

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?

Verb 'Updates' with resource 'subdomain configuration' and specific examples (document root, SSL, redirect) clearly state purpose. Distinguishes from siblings like 'get' and 'delete' subdomain.

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 alternatives like 'patch domain' or other subdomain tools. Missing prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or selection criteria.

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