add_load_balancer_service

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states 'Add' which implies a write/mutation operation, but doesn't describe permissions needed, whether this is idempotent, what happens on failure, or any rate limits. The description lacks critical behavioral context for a complex creation 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 extremely concise with a single sentence that directly states the tool's purpose. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration, making it front-loaded and 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?

For a complex tool with 7 parameters, nested objects, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is severely inadequate. It doesn't explain what constitutes a 'service', what the tool returns, error conditions, or relationships with other load balancer operations, leaving significant gaps for agent understanding.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage and 7 parameters (5 required), the description provides no information about any parameters. It doesn't explain what 'id', 'protocol', ports, or nested objects like 'health_check' and 'http' represent, leaving all parameter semantics undocumented.

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 clearly states the action ('Add') and target ('a service to a load balancer'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'add_load_balancer_target' or other load balancer-related tools, missing explicit differentiation.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing load balancer), exclusions, or relationships with sibling tools like 'create_load_balancer' or 'delete_load_balancer_service'.

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