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

The description explicitly says the operation is mutating and changes server state, which adds behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint=false annotation. It also states required scopes, but it does not describe what state changes occur, whether the operation is reversible, or what side effects to expect.

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 short, structured, and easily scannable, with the main purpose stated up front. It omits important semantic content, but what it does include is presented without wasted words.

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 dynamic body parameter, no output schema, and no usage guidance, the description is not sufficient for an agent to invoke this tool correctly. The endpoint, scope, and mutability are useful, but the core semantic questions—what 'detect' does, what payload to send, and what the response looks like—are unanswered.

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?

The input schema only provides a 'body' object whose schema is explicitly 'not statically declared — see API docs', so the description needed to compensate but does not mention the request payload at all. An agent has no way to know what to send in the body to perform IP detection.

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 states a specific verb-resource pair ('Detect IP addresses') and gives the exact HTTP endpoint, so an agent can tell it is an IP-address operation. However, it does not explain what 'detect' means in this API or how it differs from the many sibling IP-address tools, such as the 'available' or 'set_primary' endpoints.

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?

There is no statement about when to use this tool versus the alternative IP-address tools. The only contextual clues are the category and required scope, which do not help an agent choose this endpoint over a sibling.

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