Restart Ploi Docker container

ploi_restart_container
Destructive

Restart a Docker container by queuing a shutdown followed by startup on Ploi. Provide server and container IDs, with optional docker-compose flags.

Instructions

Queue a Docker container shutdown followed by startup using Ploi's documented down/up endpoints.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true, and description adds that it queues two sequential operations (shutdown then startup). This goes beyond annotations by revealing the non-instantaneous nature and the use of down/up endpoints.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, front-loaded with action and resource, no wasted words. Meets the 'every sentence earns its place' criterion.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 4 parameters, no output schema, and existing annotations, the description adequately explains the tool's purpose. However, the queuing behavior and usage of two endpoints could be more explicitly tied to parameter usage.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema documentation covers 100% of parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., explaining the flags' role in the down/up process). Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it queues a shutdown followed by startup, specifying the verb 'queue' and resource 'container restart' via Ploi endpoints. It distinguishes from sibling tools like ploi_start_container and ploi_stop_container.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

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 (e.g., ploi_restart_server). It implies for restarting containers but lacks context on prerequisites or when not to use.

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