domainUnlock

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the core effect (domain becomes unlocked and transferable), but does not disclose prerequisites, reversibility, exact consequences for the domain lock status, authentication needs, or potential error conditions.

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 a single sentence with no wasted words, and the core purpose is front-loaded. The API reference link is supplementary but not distracting.

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?

Although the tool is simple with one parameter, the description lacks important contextual details: no return value/response behavior, no prerequisites, no conditions under which unlocking might fail, and no explicit linkage to sibling tools like domainLock or transferDomain. The API reference link helps but does not compensate for the missing inline guidance.

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 schema has 100% description coverage for the only parameter, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add additional meaning about domain format, requirements, or edge cases beyond saying 'domain.'

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Unlock a domain so it can be transferred away.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like domainLock, and the purpose is immediately understandable.

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?

The description provides clear context: this tool is used to unlock a domain in preparation for transferring it away. It does not explicitly name alternatives such as domainLock or state when not to use it, but the intended use case is evident.

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