revert_wlan

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the transparency burden. It does state the main mutation (moving the interface back to root) and the optional namespace deletion timing ('after reverting'). However, it does not explain side effects of deleting the namespace, irreversibility, or error/failure behavior, which leaves gaps 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 compact and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by a minimal Args section that covers exactly the parameters needing explanation. There is no filler or redundant text.

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?

For a tool with only three simple parameters and an output schema present, the description covers the essential purpose and all parameter semantics. It could still state prerequisites or failure conditions, but given the low complexity and structured schema, it is reasonably complete.

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 has 0% description coverage, and the description compensates fully: interface gets a concrete example, namespace gets its role and default clarified, and delete_namespace is explained with its timing. This adds meaningful detail beyond the bare schema property names and defaults.

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 opens with a specific verb ('Revert') and a precise resource ('WLAN interface from its namespace back to the root namespace'), making the operation unambiguous. It is clearly distinguishable from the sibling tools, none of which perform this exact namespace-revert action.

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 purpose statement implies when the tool should be used (when a WLAN interface needs to be returned to the root namespace), but it does not explicitly state prerequisites, exclusions, or when to choose an alternative. With no obvious sibling alternative, the guidance remains implicit rather than explicit.

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