add_dns_static

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It states the required macro for write permission and basic parameters but does not disclose important behavioral traits like duplicate handling, overwrite behavior, or error conditions. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.

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 concise with only four lines including examples. It is well-structured with clear parameter descriptions. However, the use of Indonesian may reduce clarity for an English-speaking AI agent, but it is still efficient.

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 tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description adequately covers parameter usage. However, it lacks information about expected outcomes, return values, or side effects, which is needed for a write operation in a networking context.

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?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaningful examples for each parameter (e.g., 'name: 'nas.lan'', 'address: '192.168.88.10'', 'ttl: '1d', '1h''). This provides useful context beyond the schema's property names and defaults, especially for the ttl format.

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 explicitly states the function: 'Add static DNS entry (A record: name -> address)'. It clearly identifies the resource and action, distinguishing it from sibling tools like dns_static (list) and set_dns_servers.

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 only mentions a required macro condition ('BUTUH MIKROCLAW_ALLOW_WRITE=true') but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., add_static_dhcp_lease for different purposes). It lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative suggestions.

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