Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description does not disclose any behavioral traits. Reinstalling likely destructively wipes data, but this is not stated. With no annotations, the burden falls entirely on the description, which fails to provide 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?
The description is extremely concise (one line), but this is due to under-specification. It lacks necessary information and is not structured helpfully.
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 3 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is woefully incomplete. It provides no information about return values, side effects, or partial updates.
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 description makes no mention of parameters. With 0% schema description coverage, the agent has no understanding of what 'server', 'query', or 'body' represent beyond their types.
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 provides the HTTP method and endpoint, indicating the action 'reinstall'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like suspend/unsuspend, but lacks any explanation of what reinstalling actually does.
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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., suspend, unsuspend) or what prerequisites are needed before reinstalling a server.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
