batchSetSwitchPortProfile

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

The destructiveHint annotation already signals mutation, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond what the annotation and schema parameter profileOverrideEnable already convey. It does not explain consequences such as whether disabling the override reverts ports to their previous profile or whether the operation is idempotent.

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 one compact sentence with the action and object front-loaded. It has no redundant wording, but the brevity sacrifices useful detail that the agent needs for correct invocation.

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?

This is a mutating batch operation with destructiveHint and no output schema, yet the description only restates the basic purpose. It fails to explain the roles of three of four parameters or what the result of disabling an override means, making it incomplete for reliable autonomous use.

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?

Schema description coverage is only 25%, with profileOverrideEnable being the only described parameter. The tool description also only references the override concept and does not explain switchMac, portList, or siteId, leaving most parameters under-documented for an agent.

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 ('Batch enable or disable'), the target resource ('profile override'), and the scope ('multiple switch ports'). The word 'Batch' also helps distinguish it from single-port sibling tools like setSwitchPortProfileOverride.

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 phrase 'Batch...multiple switch ports' implies this tool is for applying the override setting to several ports at once, but it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name the single-port alternative. The usage guidance is implied rather than stated.

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