panorama_duplicate_addresses

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

No annotations provided; description does not disclose if the tool is read-only, modifies state, or requires authentication. It mentions return format but omits behavioral traits like non-destructive nature or potential side effects.

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?

Description is concise: one line for purpose, followed by Args and Returns. No fluff, front-loaded purpose. Slightly verbose with full Returns section, but useful given no output schema.

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 one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately explains return value format. However, it lacks edge cases like no duplicates found, error handling, or performance notes. Adequate but not comprehensive.

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 coverage is 0%, but description adds semantic value by explaining the 'limit' parameter as 'Maximum number of addresses to analyze (default: 100)', which is helpful beyond the schema's type and default.

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?

Description states verb 'Find', resource 'duplicate address objects', and specific condition 'same IP, different names'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'panorama_unused_objects' or 'panorama_rules_without_profile'.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description explains what it does but lacks context for selection, such as when duplicate detection is preferred over other analysis tools.

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