restore_page_from_snapshot

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden. It explicitly states 'This deletes all current content and replaces it with the snapshot,' disclosing key behavioral traits. It could mention additional traits like atomicity or permissions, but the disclosure is sufficient.

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 concise with a clear warning and parameter list. The Args section repeats schema information but is acceptable. It is front-loaded with the purpose and warning, making it efficient.

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 the output schema exists, return values are not required. The description covers behavior, parameter meanings, and a prerequisite (taking a snapshot first). It is fairly complete but could mention error handling for invalid snapshot paths or page IDs.

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%, so the description must add meaning. It provides brief but functional descriptions for both parameters ('The page to restore into' and 'Path to the snapshot JSON file'), clarifying their roles beyond the schema's type-only specification.

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 'Restore a page from a previously saved snapshot,' which specifies the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'snapshot_page' and 'restore_page' by emphasizing the snapshot-based restoration.

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?

Includes a warning about destructive behavior and advises to take a snapshot first, providing clear guidance on when to use the tool and necessary precautions. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or list alternative tools.

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