Behavior4/5

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

Annotations are provided (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) and the description adds the 'queue' aspect, indicating the shutdown is asynchronous and non-destructive. It clarifies behavior beyond annotations, though it could detail side effects like whether the container must be running.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence of 9 words with no filler. Every word is essential, making it highly concise and structured.

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

Completeness3/5

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

While the description covers the primary action, it lacks context such as whether the container must be running, what happens if already stopped, or any side effects. For a tool with no output schema and moderate complexity, more detail would improve completeness.

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 description coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for all parameters. The tool description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema, but it does not contradict or confuse. Baseline 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 uses a specific verb ('Queue...shutdown') and clearly identifies the resource (Docker container) and platform (Ploi server). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like ploi_start_container or ploi_delete_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?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like ploi_restart_container or ploi_delete_container. Usage is implied but lacks guidance on prerequisites or scenarios.

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