add_domain_alias

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Add domain alias' only implies a mutation and reveals nothing about side effects, required preconditions, idempotency, or whether the alias needs verification. This is a very thin disclosure.

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 three-word imperative with no filler, and the core action is front-loaded. It is efficient, though it lacks the supporting detail that a tool with no annotations should carry.

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?

With three required parameters, no annotations, and no parameter-level help, a single phrase leaves too much unspecified. An agent cannot infer valid inputs, operational effects, or expected output, making the description inadequate for correct invocation without external knowledge.

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 three required parameters with zero description coverage, and the tool description adds no parameter detail whatsoever. The agent is left to guess what 'zoid' means and what formats are expected for 'domain_name' and 'domain_alias', so the description fails to compensate for the schema gap.

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 states a clear verb ('Add') and resource ('domain alias'), and the sibling tool 'remove_domain_alias' makes the primary action distinguishable. However, it does not clarify what a domain alias is or how this differs from 'add_domain', so it is slightly under-specified.

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 given on when to use this tool over alternatives like 'add_domain' or 'remove_domain_alias'. There are no conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions, so the agent must infer usage solely from the tool name.

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