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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and idempotentHint=false, and the description adds 'Mutating: changes server state' to make the side effect explicit. The required scope ssl:write is also useful, but the description does not disclose whether the upload replaces an existing certificate or how the new certificate is activated.

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 compact and front-loaded: one clear action sentence followed by concise metadata (HTTP path, category, scopes, mutation flag). Every line earns its place without redundancy.

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 an open request body schema, no output schema, and a mutating operation, the description is not complete enough for an agent to construct the request. It identifies the payload generally as certificate and key but leaves the actual JSON structure, required fields, and any replacement behavior unspecified.

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 body parameter schema is explicitly open ('Schema not statically declared'), so the description's mention of 'certificate and key' adds meaningful semantic guidance about what the payload must contain. However, exact field names and formats are still missing, which prevents a higher score.

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 action ('Uploads'), a clear resource ('custom SSL certificate and key'), and the HTTP endpoint. It distinguishes this tool from the sibling SSL operations (issue, renew, get) by emphasizing the custom certificate upload.

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 explicit guidance is given for when to use this tool versus the sibling issue/renew tools. The word 'custom' implies a contrast, but the description never states that this is for bringing your own certificate rather than using an auto-issuance flow.

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