Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v1.0.0
Disambiguation3/5
With 368 tools, many have similar patterns (list/create/get/update/delete for dozens of resources), but the resource names are distinct. An agent can disambiguate by resource type, but the volume makes selection error-prone.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow a strict 'sdcloud_{verb}_{noun}' pattern with underscores. Naming is systematic and predictable, making it easy to infer tool purpose from name alone.
Tool Count1/5
368 tools is far beyond reasonable scope. A well-designed MCP server typically has 3-15 tools. This extreme count overwhelms agents and suggests a lack of abstraction.
Completeness5/5
The tool set covers CRUD, deployment, preview, cleanup, and nested operations for most security director concepts. It appears to include every necessary operation for managing firewall, NAT, profiles, devices, certificates, templates, and users.
Average 3.1/5 across 300 of 368 tools scored. Lowest: 2.1/5.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states that the tool updates a rule, but does not disclose if it's a full overwrite or partial update, whether it's idempotent, or any side effects. This is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it sacrifices necessary information. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource, but the brevity leads to incompleteness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given three required parameters, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is highly incomplete. It fails to explain what the body should contain, how to obtain the UUIDs, or what the result of the update is. The agent would lack critical context to use this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is low (33%), and the description adds no parameter clarification. The 'body' parameter has a vague description, while 'rule_uuid' and 'profile_uuid' are completely undocumented. The description does not compensate for the schema's lack of detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update an IPS rule within an IPS profile' clearly identifies the action (update) and resource (IPS rule within IPS profile). It distinguishes from siblings like create, delete, get, but lacks specificity about the scope or context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use update vs create or other operations. No preconditions or alternatives mentioned. The sibling tools include create and delete for the same resource, so explicit usage notes would be valuable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description gives no behavioral traits beyond 'update'. It does not disclose whether the update is partial or full, what side effects occur, or any authorization requirements. No annotations are provided to supplement.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely brief (6 words), but this brevity comes at the cost of missing critical details. It is under-specified rather than efficiently concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is completely inadequate. It fails to explain the return value, behavior after update, or any prerequisites.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (body has a description, uuid has none). The description adds no extra meaning: for uuid it is just 'uuid', and for body it repeats the schema's description. The body parameter's structure is left unspecified, which is a significant gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'update' and the resource 'SSL initiation object', and the method 'by UUID'. It provides a specific verb and resource, but does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_create_ssl_initiation'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create, delete, get). There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a new user' without mentioning idempotency, authentication needs, return values, or side effects. This is a bare minimum that fails to inform the agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no waste, but it is too brief to convey necessary information. It lacks structure and does not front-load key details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, no annotations, and a single parameter, the description should compensate but fails to explain what constitutes a 'user', the expected body structure, or what 'create' entails. It is insufficient for a creation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% (one parameter described), but the description of the 'body' parameter ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') adds little beyond the schema. It does not specify required fields or examples, reducing usefulness.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new user' clearly states the verb and resource, and the name 'sdcloud_create_user' reinforces it. Among many sibling create tools, it distinguishes by resource type, but lacks extra context like 'user in Security Director Cloud'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus other create tools, prerequisites, or context. The description does not help the agent decide when to invoke this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, return format, or authorization requirements. It only states the basic action without any additional behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is extremely short but lacks necessary detail. While concise, it is under-specified and does not provide enough information to be useful. Conciseness without completeness is not effective.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not clarify what the tool returns, how to interpret parameters, or any other contextual information needed for correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 3 parameters with only 33% description coverage. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema; it does not explain the purpose or expected values for policy_uuid or rule_uuid.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'ungrouped firewall policy rule'. It differentiates from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_firewall_policy_rule_in_group by specifying 'ungrouped'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description does not mention when not to use it or provide any contextual usage hints despite many similar sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. However, it only states 'Get' without revealing any side effects (e.g., read-only, no modifications), authentication requirements, rate limits, or whether the tool returns a single object or an array. This is a critical gap for a tool that retrieves sensitive configuration data.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence) but at the cost of essential information. It fails to explain parameters, usage context, or return value. Conciseness should not come at the expense of clarity; here, it results in under-specification, making the tool harder to use correctly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has two required parameters, no output schema, and lacks annotations, the description must cover parameter meaning and return behavior. It does neither. The tool is part of a complex IPS profile management system, but the description gives no context about how exempt rules relate to profiles or how to use this tool in a workflow.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters. It does not explain what 'rule_uuid' and 'profile_uuid' represent, their relationship, or how to obtain valid values. The agent is left with unannotated parameter names, which is insufficient for correct invocation.
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 the action ('Get') and the resource ('an exempt rule within an IPS profile'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list, create, update, and delete, which are all separate operations for the same entity. This specificity leaves no ambiguity about what the tool does.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like listing all exempt rules or updating one. It does not mention that both 'rule_uuid' and 'profile_uuid' are required, nor does it explain how to obtain these identifiers. There is no explicit 'when-to-use' or 'when-not-to-use' direction, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as required permissions, error handling, or whether the operation is safe/read-only.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no waste, but it underspecifies the tool's behavior and is too brief to be effective.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and 0% parameter schema coverage, the description is severely incomplete. A get-by-ID tool should at least hint at the return value or error cases.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description adds no meaning beyond the parameter name 'tunnel_id', missing format, constraints, or examples.
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 the verb 'Get', the resource 'tunnel', and the scope 'by ID'. This distinguishes it from sibling tool sdcloud_list_tunnels, which retrieves multiple tunnels.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., list_tunnels). No prerequisites or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states 'Create an exempt rule' with no disclosure of authorization needs, side effects, idempotency, or error conditions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise single sentence, but under-specified. Lacks important details that would aid agent understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, no annotations, complex body parameter. Description fails to explain what an exempt rule is, body structure, or relationship to other IPS profile tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description adds no parameter information. Schema has 2 params, but `profile_uuid` is undefined and `body` description is generic. Schema coverage is 50%, description does not compensate.
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?
Clearly states the action 'Create', the resource 'exempt rule', and the parent context 'within an IPS profile'. Differentiates from sibling `sdcloud_create_ips_profile_rule` which creates a regular rule.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on prerequisites, when to use vs alternatives, or exclusions. Does not mention that an IPS profile must exist first.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action without mentioning irreversibility, permissions, side effects, or impact on other profiles, leaving the agent with no insight into the operation's implications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks substantive detail to justify its brevity. It could include more context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the sibling tools and the absence of output schema and annotations, the description is wholly incomplete. It fails to provide sufficient information for an agent to use the tool effectively in context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not explain the purpose or origin of the parameters (profile_uuid, rule_uuid), failing to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
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 the action (Delete) and the resource (IPS rule within an IPS profile). It effectively distinguishes from related siblings like sdcloud_delete_ips_profile and sdcloud_create_ips_profile_rule.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_delete_ips_profile_exempt_rule or sdcloud_delete_ips_signature). There is no mention of prerequisites, dependencies, or usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; the description is minimal. It does not disclose side effects, asynchrony, or required prior steps. 'Deploy' implies an action but no details on scope or results.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, very concise, but lacks structure. It could be improved with bullet points or brief elaboration, though it is not verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's importance (deploying policy) and absence of annotations/output schema, the description is severely incomplete. Missing return values, error conditions, deployment status checking, and dependencies on prior steps like assignments.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter policy_id has no schema description (0% coverage) and the description adds no meaning, such as expected format, source, or how to obtain it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'deploy' and the resource 'a single firewall policy', and specifies it applies to assigned devices, distinguishing it from creation, deletion, or selective deploy siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like sdcloud_selective_deploy_firewall_policy or sdcloud_get_firewall_policy_state. The description does not explain prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies a read operation but fails to disclose behavioral traits such as that it polls an async job, expects a job ID from a previous delete call, or has no side effects. No annotations are provided, so the description should carry the full burden, which it does not.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one line) but lacks necessary detail. It is front-loaded but incomplete, making it adequate but not excellent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide more context about async polling, expected inputs, and response. It fails to mention that this is a status check for a previously initiated deletion, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. However, the description provides no explanation of what 'delete_certificate_id' represents (e.g., job ID from a delete call). The parameter name offers a hint, but the description adds no value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool gets the status of a certificate-delete job. The verb 'Get' and resource 'status of a certificate-delete job' are specific. However, it does not distinguish from similar status tools for other operations (e.g., install), missing the async job polling context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_install_ca_certificate_status or when to call after initiating a deletion. No mention of prerequisites or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must compensate. It states 'Get metadata' implying a read-only operation but provides no details on what metadata is returned, error conditions, or side effects. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotation backup.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It is appropriately sized for the minimal information provided, but could benefit from expansion.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple schema (one parameter) and no output schema, the description should clarify what 'metadata' entails. The current description is too vague to fully inform an agent about the tool's capabilities.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description adds no meaning to the 'device_uuid' parameter. It does not explain what the parameter represents or how to obtain it, leaving the agent without guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'metadata for a device's latest configuration revision', making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_list_device_config_versions' by focusing on the latest version.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, nor does it specify scenarios where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Get' but does not indicate that the operation is read-only, what permissions are needed, or what the response structure is. The lack of any behavioral traits makes it insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at one sentence, which is good for front-loading. However, it is too brief, leaving out essential details. It could be longer to provide needed context without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given three required parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and many sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how the parameters relate, what a successful response looks like, or any constraints. The tool would be hard to use without additional documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has three required parameters (uuid, profile_uuid, rule_set_uuid) with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain the role of any parameter. It only mentions the context of a 'rule within an enhanced content filtering profile rule set', but fails to clarify which parameter corresponds to which entity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'a rule within an enhanced content filtering profile rule set'. It is specific and unambiguous about what the tool does, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_enhanced_content_filtering_profile or sdcloud_list_enhanced_content_filtering_rules.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention that it retrieves a single existing rule, nor does it compare to list, create, update, or delete operations. There is no context about prerequisites or usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but only implies a read operation ('Get'). It does not disclose potential side effects, authentication needs, or error behaviors.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence) but lacks any structured detail; it is not inefficient but is too minimal for adequate understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and minimal description, the tool fails to specify what status values are returned or how to interpret them, leaving agents without sufficient context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite 0% schema description coverage and a single required parameter, the description does not clarify the meaning or expected format of 'install_license_id'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'status of a license installation job', making the tool's purpose clear and distinct from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternative tools for license operations or status checks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get an IPS context by UUID,' which implies a read operation but fails to mention any authentication requirements, rate limits, or potential side effects. The lack of annotations amplifies this gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence of 6 words), which is efficient but lacks any structure. It could be more informative without sacrificing conciseness, e.g., by mentioning the return type.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description should compensate by explaining what data is returned, any prerequisites (e.g., UUID must exist), or error conditions. It does none of these, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the tool description adds no detail about the 'uuid' parameter beyond 'by UUID.' The parameter is required but the description does not explain its format, source, or constraints, providing no additional value over the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get') and the resource ('IPS context'), and specifies the identifier ('by UUID'). It is unambiguous but does not differentiate from the sibling 'sdcloud_list_ips_contexts' which retrieves multiple contexts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sdcloud_list_ips_contexts'. There is no mention of prerequisites, expected usage context, or when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing any behavioral traits such as required permissions, response format, possible error states, or whether the job is asynchronous. The description is too sparse to inform the agent about expected behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that communicates the core purpose without extra words. It is front-loaded with the primary action. While it could benefit from a bit more detail, it is not verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is insufficient for the agent to understand the full context. It does not explain what the returned status looks like, possible values, or how to handle the results. A status-check tool typically requires details on polling behavior or response structure.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter (reboot_id) with no description. The tool description does not elaborate on the parameter's meaning or origin. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but fails to do so. It does not clarify that reboot_id is likely obtained from a previous reboot operation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'status of a bulk device-reboot job'. It distinguishes from sibling tools which focus on other operations (e.g., removing devices, syncing). However, it doesn't explicitly mention the prerequisite of having a reboot_id from sdcloud_reboot_devices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description does not mention that it should be used after initiating a reboot job via sdcloud_reboot_devices, nor does it explain that the reboot_id parameter comes from that previous action. This lack of context reduces its utility.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Get' but does not confirm it is read-only, any side effects, or requirements (e.g., device must be in RMA state).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 11 words, which is concise. However, it could be restructured to include more context without losing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description does not hint at the return value or any prerequisites. It is insufficient for a tool with one parameter and no further documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'device_id' has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and the tool description adds no additional meaning, such as format, constraints, or examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'reactivation configuration for a device that is in RMA state'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_rma_reactivation_status' by specifying 'configuration' rather than 'status'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_rma_reactivation_status' or 'get_rma_device_state'. The description does not mention prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as idempotency, side effects, or whether it is a read-only operation. It merely states what it does without additional context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, but it may be too terse. While it is efficient, it lacks sufficient detail for an agent to fully understand the tool, earning a middle score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has only one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimal. It does not explain the expected response format or how to use the sync_id, making the context incomplete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has only one parameter 'sync_id' with no description, and the tool description does not elaborate on what the sync_id represents or how it should be obtained. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to add any meaning beyond the parameter name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Get' and the resource 'status of a bulk device-sync job', making the purpose immediately clear. However, it does not differentiate from other status-getting tools like sdcloud_get_reboot_devices_status, but the resource is specific enough.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor any prerequisites or context. The agent is left to infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, latency, or error states. It only states a simple read operation, lacking details about what the status represents or boundary conditions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 8 words. It is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it could benefit from additional context without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and minimal description, the tool is incomplete. It does not describe the response format, possible status values, or how to correlate with other preview-related tools. For a status-check tool, this is insufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no description for the 'preview_id' parameter. The tool description does not explain what preview_id is or how to obtain it, adding no value beyond the schema structure.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves the overall status of a template preview job. It uses the verb 'Get' and specifies the resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'sdcloud_get_template_preview_result_by_device', though the word 'overall' hints at aggregation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sdcloud_get_template_preview_result_by_device' or 'sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status'. There is no mention of prerequisites, conditions, or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states a read operation implicitly but does not explain pagination, sorting, response format, or error behavior (e.g., when device_uuid is invalid).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words, but it is too terse. It sacrifices completeness for brevity, missing critical details that would justify a higher score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and the tool's purpose of listing version history, the description should clarify what 'version history' entails (e.g., timestamps, version numbers, config diff). It falls short, leaving the agent uncertain about the return value.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the device_uuid parameter. It merely says 'for a device' without linking to the parameter, leaving the agent without necessary context on how to specify the device.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'configuration version history for a device', which differentiates it from sibling tools that list other entities like devices, sites, or policies. It is specific and avoids ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_get_device_config_latest_version or sdcloud_rollback_device_config_version. Prerequisites like device existence or permissions are not mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must fully disclose behavior. It only says 'Update', implying mutation, but lacks details on idempotency, error conditions, side effects (e.g., requiring deployment), or whether partial updates are supported.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, but it is too minimal and fails to provide essential context. Conciseness should not come at the cost of completeness; this is under-specified.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the tool (2 parameters, one of which is a flexible object), no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description is severely lacking. It does not explain what fields the body should contain, how to construct the UUID, or what the response looks like.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (body has a generic description). The tool description adds no information about the purpose or format of the parameters beyond what the schema states. For an update operation, the body parameter's schema is left open ('additionalProperties': true), requiring more guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action (update) and resource (firewall policy) with identifier (UUID). However, it does not distinguish this tool from the sibling tool sdcloud_update_firewall_policy_rule, which updates a rule within a policy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives for creating, listing, or deploying firewall policies. No prerequisites or context about required prior steps like fetching the current policy.

Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden, yet it discloses no behavioral traits. It does not indicate whether the update is full replacement or partial (PATCH vs PUT), what happens to unspecified fields, or if the object must exist beforehand.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. It does not waste words, but it is underinformative, missing important details given the tool's complexity.

Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Update a variable zone object by UUID', which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes from sibling CRUD tools like create, get, delete, and list. However, it lacks context on what a variable zone is, but the name implies the resource type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., when to update vs create). No prerequisites, idempotency, or partial update behavior mentioned. The description provides no usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'Create a rule', which implies mutation. It does not disclose side effects, required permissions, behavior on duplicates, or return format. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden but fails to provide meaningful behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely brief (one sentence) but omits essential details. It is under-specification rather than properly concise, as it lacks parameter explanation and usage context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool creating a nested rule with a complex body object and no output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the body structure, validation, or any constraints, leaving the agent with insufficient information to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 33% (body description is generic). The description adds no information about parameters, leaving the 'body' object completely unexplained. With low coverage, the description should compensate but does not.
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 the action (create) and the resource (a rule within an enhanced content filtering profile rule set). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_enhanced_content_filtering_rule_set and sdcloud_create_enhanced_content_filtering_profile by specifying the hierarchy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5

Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single 7-word sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It could be restructured to include more context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested body object, no output schema, many sibling tools), the description is extremely incomplete. It does not explain the body structure, expected response, error conditions, or how to construct the request. The agent is left without crucial information to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50%; only the 'body' parameter has a description in the schema. The tool description adds 'by UUID' but does not explain the uuid format or provide any additional meaning for the body parameter beyond what the schema states.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update an AAMW profile object by UUID' clearly indicates the verb (update) and resource (AAMW profile object). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create/get/delete, but does not explicitly state that it modifies an existing profile.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create vs update). No prerequisites or conditions for use are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It simply says 'Update', which is obvious from the name. It does not mention whether the update is partial or full, any side effects, required permissions, or what happens if the rule doesn't exist. This is insufficient for an AI agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that conveys the core action without unnecessary words. It is well-structured and front-loaded. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices helpful detail, which slightly reduces the score from a perfect 5.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (4 parameters, no output schema, no annotations, many siblings), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the role of each parameter, the expected format of the body, what the update returns, or necessary prerequisites (e.g., existing policy and group). An AI agent would struggle to use this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 25%, and the description adds no meaning beyond the schema. The 'body' parameter is vaguely described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', and the other three parameters have no description. The tool definition fails to clarify what each parameter represents or how to construct the body.
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 the action ('Update') and the specific resource ('a rule inside a NAT policy rule group'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'update_nat_policy_rule' (without group) and other operations (create/delete/list) in the same context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are there any prerequisites or exclusions mentioned. The agent receives no help in deciding whether to use this tool or another, such as creating the rule first or using a different update method.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden. It does not disclose side effects (e.g., does it overwrite? is it idempotent?), required permissions, or any constraints. The minimal text offers no behavioral insight beyond the atomic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. There is no front-loading of key information or separation of concerns. It is under-specified for the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and a generic input schema, the description should offer richer context (e.g., what a flow-based antivirus profile is, typical use, relationship to other profiles). It fails to do so, leaving the agent without enough information to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% but the only parameter 'body' has a generic description ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') that adds no concrete meaning. The description does not explain required or optional fields, examples, or structure, leaving the agent to guess.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Create' and the resource 'flow-based antivirus profile object', distinguishing it from sibling tools that list, get, update, or delete. However, it lacks additional detail about what such a profile entails or why an agent would choose this over other create tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., updating an existing profile), nor does it mention prerequisites or typical scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It merely states 'create' without disclosing side effects, permissions, idempotency, or error states. Insufficient for a write operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is extremely concise (one sentence), which is good for brevity but lacks necessary detail for understanding correct usage. It does not earn its place without added value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With a single parameter (body) lacking detailed schema, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly. Missing context about what the IPsec profile requires or returns.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% coverage but only describes the 'body' parameter as a JSON object with no further details. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, failing to compensate for the lack of parameter structure or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Create a new IPsec profile,' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling operations like update, list, and delete for IPsec profiles, though not from other creation tools in the same domain.

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as sdcloud_update_ipsec_profile or sdcloud_delete_ipsec_profile. No prerequisites or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It fails to disclose whether creation is idempotent, what happens on duplicate, required permissions, or any side effects. This is insufficient for an agent to assess safety.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise with one sentence, but it lacks necessary details. While not verbose, it sacrifices completeness for brevity, earning a middle score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's role in a large set of similar CRUD operations, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain relationships (e.g., profile_uuid must reference an existing profile), output expectations, or how it differs from related tools like sdcloud_create_ips_profile_exempt_rule.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50%, and the description adds no meaningful parameter details. The 'body' parameter is described vaguely as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema,' and 'profile_uuid' has no description. The description does not compensate for the schema's lack of structure.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Create) and resource (IPS rule within an IPS profile), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it does not distinguish between regular IPS rules and exempt rules, which are covered by sibling tools like sdcloud_create_ips_profile_exempt_rule.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Prerequisites (e.g., existing IPS profile) are not mentioned, nor are conditions where the tool should be avoided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits (e.g., idempotency, side effects, required permissions). The agent is left without critical operational context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, but it is under-specified for the tool's complexity. Brevity comes at the cost of missing essential details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (nested body, no output schema, no annotations) and the large set of sibling tools, the description is far too incomplete to enable correct invocation without external knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only 50% of parameters have schema descriptions (body has a vague description), and the description does not clarify the structure of the 'body' object beyond 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The 'policy_id' parameter is completely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a rule group within a NAT policy.' clearly states the action (create) and the target resource (rule group within a NAT policy), but it does not differentiate this tool from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_nat_policy or sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule_in_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites such as the existence of the NAT policy.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or validation behavior. The description is merely a restatement of the action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at one sentence, but it lacks substance. It earns its place by stating the purpose, but could be more informative without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested object parameter, no output schema), the description is insufficient. It does not explain what a SecIntel profile is, what typical fields are involved, or what the response contains. The sibling tools provide context but the description itself is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter 'body' with description 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond that. While schema coverage is 100%, the description is generic and doesn't clarify required fields or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Create a new SecIntel profile object,' which clearly identifies the action and resource. It distinguishes from get/update/delete siblings by name, but adds no additional context about what a SecIntel profile is.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update or list), no prerequisites, and no mention of idempotency or uniqueness constraints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'create' but does not mention side effects (e.g., idempotency, overwrite behavior, permissions needed, or deployment triggers). This is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one sentence) but under-specified. It is efficient in length but fails to provide necessary detail, making it less valuable than it could be.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (nested body parameter, no output schema, many siblings), the description is inadequate. It does not explain the role of SWP profiles, how to construct the body, or what the response indicates. The agent would struggle to use this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single 'body' parameter has high schema coverage (100%), but the description adds no additional meaning. The schema describes it as a 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema,' which is vague. The description could have clarified required fields or common properties.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (create) and resource (SWP profile object), making the tool's purpose understandable. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_swp_profile or sdcloud_delete_swp_profile, which could confuse an agent.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update, list). There are no prerequisites or context about typical workflows. The agent is left to guess based solely on the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must carry the burden. It states it is a delete operation (destructive), but provides no details about prerequisites, side effects, idempotency, or error handling. This is insufficient for a destructive tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but at the expense of context. It is front-loaded but lacks important details. Not overly verbose, but under-specified.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 4 required parameters, low schema coverage, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not address prerequisites, return values, or error scenarios, making it incomplete for safe invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 25%, and the description adds no parameter-specific information beyond the schema. The scope parameter has a description in the schema, but the other three parameters (policy_uuid, group_uuid, rule_uuid) are not explained in either the schema or description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (rule inside a firewall policy rule group). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule by specifying 'in group', but does not explicitly contrast with those siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule or sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule_group. The description lacks context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries all burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'delete' without any details on reversibility, permissions required, side effects, or response. For a deletion operation, critical behavioral traits are missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence which is concise, but it sacrifices necessary detail. It is front-loaded with the key action, but lacks structure for further context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (one required param, no output schema), the description is minimal. It does not explain what a scheduler is, which is needed to understand the tool's role. The sibling tools indicate a broader domain, and this description does not integrate that context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter description exists in the schema. The description adds 'by UUID' but does not clarify what the UUID refers to (e.g., scheduler UUID or something else). This minimal addition does not compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (scheduler object), and it is specific enough to distinguish from sibling tools like create, get, update, and list schedulers. However, it does not explain what a scheduler object is, which would enhance clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks context such as prerequisites, error conditions, or that it is the counterpart to sdcloud_create_scheduler. No usage exclusions or context are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description bears full burden. It only states 'Delete' without disclosing side effects, permissions needed, reversibility, or whether confirmation is required. Minimal behavioral insight.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but too brief to be informative. It could benefit from additional context while remaining efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and two required parameters, the description fails to explain what the operation returns, error conditions, or the broader context of template mappings. It is inadequate for an agent to confidently invoke.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage. The description does not elaborate on the parameters 'device_id' and 'template_id' beyond their inclusion in the action. No hints about format, constraints, or examples are provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action and resource: 'Delete a device mapping for a template.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_update_template_mapping' and 'sdcloud_list_template_mappings'. However, it lacks elaboration on what a device mapping is.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., update vs delete). There are no prerequisites, context about typical use cases, or exclusion conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the operation is destructive, idempotent, or what happens if the policy is already deployed. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single 8-word sentence, efficient with no wasted words. It front-loads the core action. Slight lack of structure (no line breaks) but appropriate for its brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, no annotations, and only one parameter, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., success, job status), error scenarios, or relationship to deployment jobs. For a simple tool, more context is needed for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description adds no information about the 'policy_id' parameter beyond its name. The parameter's type, format, or source is not explained. Baseline of 3 would require coverage; here description fails to compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool deploys a single NAT policy to its assigned devices, using the verb 'deploy' and specific resource 'NAT policy'. It is distinct from sibling tools like 'cleanup' or 'selective_deploy', but does not explicitly differentiate from similar deploy tools like 'sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites (e.g., devices must be assigned), or situations where it is inappropriate. The description lacks any usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose side effects, sync/async behavior, or preconditions. It only says 'Deploy a site by name', omitting critical behavioral traits like whether it overwrites existing configurations or requires the site to already exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it is too minimal, lacking necessary details. It earns its place but could be expanded without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (deploy action, nested body, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It should mention the deployment process, expected input format, or return value.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body has description, site_name lacks one). The description adds no extra parameter information; it does not clarify site_name format or the body structure beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Deploy' and resource 'site' with identifier 'by name'. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_site or other deploy actions (sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy), leaving ambiguity about the deployment context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_create_site vs. sdcloud_deploy_site). No context on prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Get the status', implying read-only, but lacks details on authorization, rate limits, error conditions, or typical response format. For a simple read operation, more transparency would be helpful.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool with one parameter.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (1 parameter, no output schema), the description is still incomplete. It lacks parameter documentation and any behavioral context beyond the basic action. The description does not cover what the status response contains or any edge cases.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must document the parameter, but it does not. The sole parameter config_rollback_id is not mentioned or explained in the description, leaving its purpose ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (get) and the resource (status of a device configuration rollback job). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_rollback_device_config_version, which triggers the rollback, and other status tools by specifying the exact object being queried.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a config_rollback_id from a rollback trigger) or contrast with other status-checking tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond the obvious 'Get' operation. There is no mention of side effects, permissions, data freshness, or response format. The burden falls entirely on the description, which is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded with the key action. However, it is too brief to provide sufficient context. While conciseness is valued, it sacrifices clarity and completeness. An additional sentence would improve it without losing structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that there is no output schema and the tool is part of a large SDK with many sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not indicate the return value (e.g., device details) or any related operations. A basic 'Get' operation should at least hint at what fields are returned.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'device_uuid' is only described in the schema (type: string). The description adds no extra meaning, such as the format of the UUID, where to obtain it, or any constraints. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'device' with a method of identification ('by UUID'). It effectively conveys the tool's primary function, though it does not distinguish it from other device-related tools like sdcloud_list_devices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_list_devices) or any prerequisites. An agent would need additional knowledge to decide when to call this function.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, or side effects. The description 'Get' implies a read operation but does not confirm safety or idempotency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it is overly minimal and could be restructured to include key details without sacrificing conciseness. Adequate but not exemplary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and zero parameter descriptions, the description is incomplete. It fails to inform users about the return value, error handling, or how to obtain the required UUIDs, making it insufficient for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for its two parameters (device_uuid, license_uuid). The description does not elaborate on their purpose, format, or how to obtain them. It adds no semantic value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Get a single license installed on a device.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_device_licenses' (plural) and 'install_device_license' (create).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_device_licenses for all licenses, install_device_license for adding). Missing context on prerequisites or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states what it does without disclosing any behavioral traits like read-only nature, performance, or 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (10 words) and front-loaded, but it could be slightly more informative without losing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Without an output schema, the description should hint at the returned object structure or fields. It does not, leaving the agent guessing about what 'proxy server object' contains.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the uuid parameter. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, missing required format, source, or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Get a proxy server object by UUID,' clearly indicating the action, resource, and identifier. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_proxy_servers and sdcloud_get_proxy_server_config.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when the UUID is known) or prerequisites (e.g., needing to list proxy servers first).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only says 'Get the status' implying read-only, but gives no details on polling, response format, or potential delays.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words. It could include more context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the many sibling tools and no output schema, the description lacks context on how this tool fits with sdcloud_remove_devices and what the status response contains.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It does not explain the 'remove_id' parameter beyond its name, failing to mention it comes from a previous remove job call.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'status of a bulk device-remove job', distinguishing it from other status tools like get_reboot_devices_status. However, it could be more explicit about the job lifecycle.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It does not mention that it should follow a call to sdcloud_remove_devices or that it is for checking async job status.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states the basic operation without mentioning if site not found, permissions, idempotency, or side effects. This is insufficient for an agent to infer behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at 5 words, but it sacrifices necessary detail. It is front-loaded, but brevity does not compensate for the lack of useful information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, no annotations, and only one parameter, the description should explain what a site is, the return value, error cases, or any related context. It fails to provide any of this, making it incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must add value. It says 'by name', which matches the site_name parameter but adds no format, constraints, or context beyond the schema's type definition.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'site', and specifies the selection method 'by name'. Among siblings like sdcloud_create_site, sdcloud_delete_site, sdcloud_list_sites, this tool's unique retrieval by name is evident.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives. For instance, sdcloud_list_sites could list all sites, but there's no note on choosing get over list. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only says 'list'. Does not disclose pagination behavior (despite pagination params in schema), read-only nature, or potential performance implications. The description carries the full burden but adds minimal behavioral detail.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, no extraneous text. However, it is overly terse and missing crucial context, making it less useful than a concise but complete description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 params, no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description fails to mention pagination, filtering, sorting, or response structure. This is insufficient for a tool with moderate complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 80% with param descriptions for from, size, sortby, filters, but the required device_uuid lacks a description. The description does not explain that device_uuid identifies the device, nor does it add value beyond the schema for the other params.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and the resource 'licenses installed on a specific device'. It distinguishes the tool's scope (per device) but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling sdcloud_get_device_license, which might be for a single license.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_device_license or other list tools. No context on prerequisites or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Update', implying mutation, but does not disclose whether the operation is idempotent, its side effects, authentication requirements, or response format. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence that is front-loaded with the core purpose. However, it is overly minimal, sacrificing helpful details for brevity. It could be expanded slightly without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (mutation tool with a body parameter, no output schema, many siblings), the description fails to provide sufficient context. It does not clarify whether the update is full replacement or partial, nor does it help the agent differentiate from other anti-spam profile tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50%, and the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The 'body' parameter description is vague ('JSON request body matching...'), and 'uuid' has no description. The description does not clarify parameter constraints or formats.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update') and the resource ('an anti-spam profile object') and identifies the identifier method ('by UUID'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create or delete by the verb. However, it could be more specific about what aspects of the profile can be updated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., the profile must exist), nor does it contrast with create or delete operations. The agent lacks context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states that the tool updates a rule, implying mutation, but lacks details on idempotency, error handling, required permissions, or 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the verb and resource. It achieves efficiency but at the cost of omitting necessary details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (4 required parameters, nested body, many sibling tools), the description is inadequate. It does not specify how to obtain the UUIDs, what the body should contain, or what the update operation returns. Without output schema, the description should provide more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not explain the meaning or relationships of the four parameters (body, uuid, profile_uuid, rule_set_uuid). Schema coverage is only 25% with a vague description for 'body,' and the description adds no additional semantic value beyond the tool's action.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states what the tool does: 'Update a rule within an enhanced content filtering profile rule set.' The verb 'Update' and resource specifier are specific. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like create or delete, relying on the tool name for distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create, delete, get). No context is given about prerequisites or typical scenarios, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided. The description only says 'Update' but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the object must exist, whether the operation is reversible, or what permissions are needed. For a mutation tool, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it is too brief to be fully helpful. It could include additional useful information without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description does not provide enough context. It fails to explain the return value, error handling, or any constraints. The agent lacks critical information for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 50% coverage. The description adds context for 'uuid' (by mentioning it) but the 'body' parameter is described only as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which is generic and adds little meaning. The agent cannot infer what fields are expected.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Update) and the resource (per-device firewall global settings object) and identifies by UUID. It is specific but could be improved by explicitly distinguishing from sibling 'sdcloud_set_firewall_global_settings' which operates on global settings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like creating, getting, or deleting device global settings. There is no mention of prerequisites or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, required permissions, or update semantics (merge vs replace). The 'body' parameter's role is vague. Behavioral traits beyond the bare action are missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but underspecifies important details. It could be expanded with key context without becoming overly long.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, and the presence of a complex nested body parameter, the description is insufficient for an agent to confidently use this tool without additional context. It does not cover prerequisites, response format, or allowed operations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (scope and body have descriptions; policy_uuid and group_uuid do not). The description adds no additional meaning to any parameter. The body parameter's description in schema is vague, and the description does not clarify what fields can be updated.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'rule group within a firewall policy scope'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create or delete rule group, but could be more precise about what properties are updated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. No prerequisites (e.g., group must exist) or conditions for use are mentioned. The description is purely a statement of action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Update an identity object' without explaining idempotency, side effects, return values, or success/failure indicators. This is insufficient for safe invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise but lacking structure. No separation of purpose from details, and no front-loading of key constraints. Could be improved with a brief summary followed by behavioral notes.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested object body, no output schema, no annotations), the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain what 'update' entails, how the body is applied, or any prerequisites. An agent would need to guess the body structure and update semantics.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body has a description, uuid lacks one). The description adds 'by UUID' for the uuid parameter, but the body description is generic ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'), adding little meaningful context beyond the schema. The agent cannot infer body structure or required fields.
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 the verb 'Update' and the resource 'identity object', with the method 'by UUID'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that update other objects (e.g., update_firewall_policy) and from create/get/delete identity object tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_create_identity_object or sdcloud_get_identity_object. No prerequisites or context provided, leaving the agent without decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the update action but omits important details: idempotency, error behavior on missing UUID, side effects (e.g., triggering deployment), or whether the update is partial or full. Insufficient for a mutation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but underinformative. It does not waste words, yet lacks critical details that would justify the minimal length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's mutation nature, hidden nested schema (body), and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain return values, error handling, or validation behavior. The agent lacks sufficient context to use the tool confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (only body has a description). The description adds no semantic value beyond the schema for 'uuid' (just 'by UUID') and repeats the generic schema-driven description for 'body'. No explanation of required body fields, constraints, or examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the action ('Update') and the resource ('redirect profile object') with a clear method ('by UUID'). It distinguishes from other redirect profile tools (create, delete, list, get) but not from similar update tools for other profile types. While clear, it lacks specificity on scope or fields.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 versus alternatives (e.g., create_redirect_profile, delete_redirect_profile). No prerequisites or context provided. The sibling list is extensive, yet the description offers no differentiation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'update' without disclosing behavioral traits like side effects, required permissions, or error handling. The lack of detail is a significant gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. While it is concise, it borders on under-specification, but it is not verbose or cluttered.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (2 parameters, one being a nested object), no output schema, and numerous sibling tools, the description is woefully incomplete. It fails to explain the body schema, return values, or any prerequisites, leaving the agent unable to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds 'by name' clarifying the site_name parameter as an identifier, but the body parameter is only vaguely described. With a schema coverage of 50%, the description does not compensate for the missing parameter details, leaving the agent uncertain about the required fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update a site by name' clearly states the action (update) and resource (site), and distinguishes from sibling tools like create_site, delete_site, get_site, and list_sites. However, it lacks detail on what aspects of the site can be updated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_site or deploy_site. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only states 'Update an SWP profile object by UUID' without mentioning permissions, reversibility, side effects, or what happens if the UUID does not exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (8 words) but lacks important details. It is front-loaded but at the expense of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and moderate schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or prerequisites for updating an SWP profile.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (body has a description). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema for either parameter. It does not explain required fields in the body or the format of uuid.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Update) and resource (SWP profile object by UUID). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_anti_spam_profile, which also update profiles.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus other update tools. Siblings like sdcloud_create_swp_profile and sdcloud_update_anti_spam_profile exist, but the description provides no context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; the description only says 'Create a new... object' without disclosing behavioral traits like idempotency, overwrite behavior, auth requirements, or 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.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one sentence and concise, but it omits necessary information such as parameter details and usage context. Conciseness without completeness is not ideal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, a single parameter with a vague description, and many siblings, the description is inadequate for proper tool selection and invocation. It lacks detail about required body structure, constraints, and return value.
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 coverage is 100% (body has a description), so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides; it simply restates 'matching the target schema' without detailing fields.
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 the action ('Create') and the resource ('per-device firewall global settings object'). It distinguishes from siblings like update, delete, list, and get, and from global settings tools by specifying 'per-device'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update, set_firewall_global_settings). No prerequisites, when-not, or context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description lacks behavioral details beyond the obvious destructive nature of deletion. No information is given about side effects, reversibility, required permissions, or impact on other objects. With no annotations, this is a significant gap.
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, well-constructed sentence that conveys the essential information with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a simple delete action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is severely lacking in context. For a delete operation with many sibling tools, it should explain prerequisites, potential impacts, and the nature of the resource. The minimal description leaves the agent without sufficient understanding to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema defines a single 'uuid' parameter with no description. The tool description does not clarify the UUID's format, source, or constraints. Given 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but fails to add any meaning beyond the parameter name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (application object) with the identifier (UUID). It is specific and actionable, though it doesn't elaborate on what constitutes an 'application' in this context. Still, it effectively communicates the tool's purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are there any prerequisites or exclusions mentioned. The description simply states the action without context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. The verb 'delete' implies destructive action, but there is no information about irreversibility, authorization requirements, side effects (e.g., impact on deployments), or error conditions. The description is too minimal to guide safe usage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is direct and front-loaded. No unnecessary words. However, it is slightly too terse, missing crucial context that could be added without increasing length significantly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple CRUD nature and lack of annotations, the description is incomplete. It omits prerequisites (e.g., policy must exist), consequences (e.g., cascading deletion of rules?), and error handling. The one-parameter schema is simple, but the description should provide more operational context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It mentions 'by UUID' but does not explain the format, validation rules, or how to obtain the UUID. The parameter name 'policy_uuid' is self-explanatory, but no additional semantics are provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete) and resource (firewall policy) and specifies identification by UUID. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_firewall_policy or sdcloud_list_firewall_policies, though it could be more explicit about scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not mention conditions under which deletion is allowed (e.g., policy not assigned) or any prerequisite steps. The agent has to infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description only states 'delete' without disclosing traits like irreversibility, permissions, or 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?
The description is very concise (6 words) but lacks necessary details for a complete tool definition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete tool with no output schema, the description is too sparse; it doesn't mention return values or success conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no detail about the 'profile_name' parameter beyond its name.
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 deletes an IPsec profile by name using a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from siblings like delete_anti_spam_profile.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description simply states 'Delete', which implies a destructive action, but provides no additional behavioral context such as whether the deletion is immediate, requires subsequent deployment, or what happens to associated objects. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden and is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, but it is under-specified. It lacks essential details about parameters and usage context. While not verbose, it sacrifices completeness, making it borderline inadequate for an agent to use correctly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has three required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the hierarchical structure (rule inside a group inside a policy) or any prerequisites. A more complete description would include how to get the IDs and any deployment implications.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no information about the three required parameters (rule_id, group_id, policy_id) beyond their types and names in the schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain how to obtain these identifiers or their relationships, but it does not.
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 the action 'Delete' and the resource 'a rule inside a NAT policy rule group', distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_delete_nat_policy_rule (without group) and sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule_in_group (different policy type). The verb+resource is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_delete_nat_policy_rule (which deletes a rule not in a group) or sdcloud_delete_nat_policy_rule_group (which deletes an entire group). The description does not explain the hierarchy or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must supply behavioral traits. It only states the action without any disclosure of consequences (e.g., irreversibility, cascading effects, required permissions). This is critically insufficient for a deletion tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short—one sentence. While concise, it lacks essential details. It could be improved with a brief note on usage or effect without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is barely adequate. It states the basic action but omits critical context such as irreversibility, confirmation steps, or that the profile must exist. More completeness is expected.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds 'by UUID' but that merely echoes the parameter name. No format or constraint details are given for the uuid parameter. The additional semantic value is minimal.
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 the action ('Delete'), the resource ('redirect profile object'), and the identifier ('by UUID'). It effectively distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like create, get, list, and update.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, effect, or cases where deletion should be avoided. Given numerous sibling tools, this lack of differentiation is a significant gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Delete', implying a destructive action, but fails to disclose side effects (e.g., cascade deletion, irreversibility), permission requirements, or potential failure scenarios such as dependency conflicts.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is only 7 words in a single sentence, which is concise. However, it sacrifices necessary detail, such as behavioral or parameter guidance, making it under-specified for the agent's needs. It could be slightly longer to include key usage notes.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally complete: it states the action, resource, and identifier. However, it lacks details about return values (none specified), error handling, or differentiation from similar delete tools among the 200+ siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, meaning no parameter documentation in the schema. The description adds minimal value by mentioning 'by UUID', but does not explain the format, source, or validation of the UUID parameter. For a single-parameter tool, more context is expected.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'variable zone object', with the identifier method 'by UUID'. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling delete operations like sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule. However, it does not define what a variable zone is, which could add clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to delete a variable zone versus updating it. There are no prerequisites (e.g., the zone must exist) or consequences mentioned. The tool is one of many delete operations, and the description offers no usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Generate/retrieve' without clarifying idempotency, side effects, permissions, or whether the operation is read-only or mutating.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is concise but could be structured to front-load the primary action. Acceptable for a short description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, no annotations, and the description does not explain what the bootstrap configuration is, how it's used, or what the return value looks like. The nested body parameter lacks context on the expected schema, making the tool incomplete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% with only the 'body' parameter described. The description adds no parameter-level information; it does not explain 'device_uuid' or what the body should contain. The description provides no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (generate/retrieve) and resource (bootstrap configuration for a device). However, it lacks differentiation from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_device or sdcloud_get_device_config_*, as 'bootstrap configuration' is not defined.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites, and no distinction between generating and retrieving. The description does not help the agent decide when to invoke this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention pagination (from/size parameters), filtering capability, or that it is a read-only operation. The description is too brief to inform accurate invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, but it omits essential behavioral and usage context. Being concise is not helpful if it sacrifices completeness needed for correct tool invocation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain pagination, filtering, or the response format. Siblings with similar names are not distinguished, leading to potential confusion.
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 75% (3 of 4 parameters have descriptions). The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what is in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already documents most parameters adequately.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states verb 'List', resource 'subinterfaces', and scope 'of a device'. It is clear and specific. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling 'sdcloud_get_device_interface_subinterfaces', which may list subinterfaces of a specific interface, but still distinguishes itself by implying 'all' subinterfaces.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sdcloud_get_device_interface_subinterfaces'. The description does not provide context for selection or mention prerequisites for using the tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing behavior such as read-only nature, error handling, or response format. For a simple get, more context (e.g., 'returns rule details') would be helpful.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise. However, it lacks key information that could be provided in a few more words, such as clarifying the hierarchical context or response. It is efficient but under-informative.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It correctly identifies the resource from the name but does not fully compensate for missing schema descriptions or provide enough context for an agent to confidently use it among many similar tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no additional meaning beyond the input schema. Only the 'scope' parameter has a description in the schema; the other three parameters (policy_uuid, group_uuid, rule_uuid) have no schema description. The description does not clarify their role or required format, leaving ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'a rule inside a firewall policy rule group', accurately reflecting the tool's purpose. However, it does not differentiate from similar siblings like sdcloud_get_firewall_policy_rule, which also gets a rule but without group context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_get_firewall_policy_rule for rules not in groups). There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or context for usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must convey behavioral traits. It correctly implies a read-only operation through 'Get', but does not disclose potential effects, auth requirements, or rate limits. The examples of states are helpful but insufficient for complete transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the core action and includes concrete examples, making it efficient. However, it could include parameter details without sacrificing conciseness, slightly lowering the score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and two parameters with 0% coverage, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, parameter roles, or usage patterns, leaving the agent with insufficient information to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, meaning the description must explain parameter meaning. However, the description does not mention 'policy_uuid' (required) or 'include_assigned_devices', adding no value beyond the schema itself. This is a critical gap for agent invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool retrieves the deployment state of a firewall policy, with examples like 'up to date, pending, out of sync'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_firewall_policy (configuration) and sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy (action) through the specific verb 'Get' and resource 'deployment state'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as having deployed the policy first, or exclusions, like not using it to check configuration. The description lacks context for when an agent should invoke this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must reveal behavior. Only states 'Get the status'—a read operation. Lacks details on possible status values, polling behavior, or idempotency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, 10 words—very concise. However, under-specification reduces its usefulness; not every word earns its place due to missing critical information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, yet description fails to provide parameter context or expected response format, leaving gaps for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% with no description for the single parameter. Description does not explain what install_local_certificate_id means or how to obtain it, adding no value over the schema.
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?
Description clearly identifies the action (Get), resource (status of a local certificate installation job), and distinguishes from siblings like install, list, or delete certificate statuses.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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., after initiating an installation via a separate tool). Agent must infer from context; no exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Get the status' without mentioning read-only nature, authentication needs, or how the mnha_sync_id is obtained. Insufficient for safe invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks detail. It is not verbose, but the minimal content suggests it could be expanded without losing efficiency.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description should hint at the response structure (e.g., status codes, progress). It does not, leaving the agent uncertain about what to expect. The tool's simplicity (one param) is not fully leveraged.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain the required parameter mnha_sync_id (e.g., it is the ID returned by sync_mnha_cluster). The parameter's meaning is entirely reliant on the name, which is ambiguous.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'status of an MNHA cluster sync job'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_sync_mnha_cluster, which initiates the sync.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool, such as requiring a prior sync job via sdcloud_sync_mnha_cluster. It lacks context on prerequisites or typical usage flow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as whether it is read-only, idempotent, or requires specific authorization. The minimal description fails to inform the agent of side effects or constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise as a single sentence, but it lacks structure and additional details that would be helpful. It is under-specified for a tool with three parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (3 parameters, no output schema, many sibling tools), the description is too minimal. It does not explain the return value format, prerequisites, or how the result relates to the deploy job context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 33% (only format has a description). The description does not add any meaning to the parameters; required parameters deploy_id and device_id are not described. With low coverage, the description should compensate but does not.
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 the verb 'Get' and the specific resource 'per-device result of a bulk policy deploy job'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_policy_deploy_job (overall job status) and sdcloud_get_policy_selective_deploy_job_device_status (selective deploy).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no indication that it should be used after starting a bulk deploy job or how it relates to related tools. The description only states what it does without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It only says 'Get the status' but does not disclose what the response contains, whether it is idempotent, error conditions, performance implications, or any side effects. The description is insufficient for an agent to understand tool behavior beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no fluff, but it is excessively brief for a tool with no annotations or output schema. It meets the minimum threshold for conciseness but sacrifices informative content. Structure is flat with no front-loading of critical details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and parameter descriptions, the tool description is incomplete. It tells the core action but omits return value details, possible errors, and usage context. For a simple status-check tool, this might be borderline sufficient, but given the context signals (0% schema coverage, no output schema), more information is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one required parameter 'selective_deploy_id' with 0% description coverage (no schema description). The tool description does not add any additional meaning, format, or usage hints for this parameter. The parameter name is self-explanatory but the description fails to clarify its origin, constraints, or format (e.g., UUID).
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 the tool retrieves status of a bulk policy selective-deploy job by ID. The verb 'get' and resource 'status of a bulk policy selective-deploy job' are specific. The name distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_start_policy_selective_deploy_job' (starts) and 'sdcloud_get_policy_selective_deploy_job_device_status' (per-device status).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'sdcloud_get_policy_deploy_job' or 'sdcloud_get_policy_selective_deploy_job_device_status'. The description does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a prior start call) or conditions that make it appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It does not disclose read-only nature, authentication needs, or potential errors. Merely states the operation without behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single concise sentence, but lacks structural elements like bullet points or separation of concerns. Could benefit from minimal formatting or additional details without sacrificing conciseness.
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?
For a simple getter with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally complete. However, it does not specify the return format or any side effects, which could be important for agent reasoning.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only mentions 'by UUID' without describing format, validation, or examples. Fails to add meaningful information beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'service object' with the identifier 'UUID'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'sdcloud_list_services' by specifying a single object retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., list, create, update). No mention of prerequisites, error handling, or conditions for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description does not disclose whether the operation is read-only (likely, given 'get'), any side effects, authorization requirements, or rate limits. For a data retrieval tool, such context is important but missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise (single phrase), but lacks proper sentence structure. It conveys purpose efficiently but misses opportunities for better formatting (e.g., bullet points, parameter clarifications).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, no annotations, and minimal description. The agent lacks information about return values, error conditions, or how the per-device result relates to the overall preview job. Incomplete for a data retrieval tool with no structured documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description adds no information about the parameters, which are only named 'preview_id' and 'device_id'. It does not explain their format, source, or expected values, leaving the agent with no cues beyond the names.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Get', the resource 'per-device result', and the context 'template preview job'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_template_preview_status (overall status) and sdcloud_get_template_deploy_result_by_device (deploy, not preview).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_get_template_preview_status for overall status, sdcloud_get_template_validate_result_by_device for validation). No mention of prerequisites like needing a valid preview_id from a prior preview job.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Get a user by user_id.' It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, what the return format is, or any permissions needed. The term 'Get' implies idempotency, but no explicit behavioral context is added.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no fluff, but it is overly minimal. For a tool with one parameter, it is acceptable, but it could be more informative without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple nature of the tool (get by ID), the description is incomplete. It does not mention the return value (e.g., user details), which is critical for an agent to use the tool correctly. With no output schema, the description should at least hint at the response.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. However, it only reiterates the parameter name 'user_id' without adding format, constraints, or examples. It provides no additional meaning beyond the schema.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'user', and specifies the identifier 'by user_id'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_users (which returns multiple) and sdcloud_create_user (which creates).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it, nor does it reference sibling tools like sdcloud_list_users or sdcloud_get_tenant_id for context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits, but it only states the purpose and parameter format. It does not indicate whether the operation is destructive, asynchronous, requires polling for status (despite a sibling tool sdcloud_get_install_ca_certificate_status existing), or any side effects. Additionally, the mention of 'multipart upload' is inconsistent with the schema expecting a base64 string, which could mislead an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences and front-loads the purpose. However, the phrase 'multipart upload' is somewhat misleading given the schema, which slightly reduces efficiency. Still, it avoids unnecessary verbosity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description should provide more context about return values, error conditions, or post-installation behavior. It does not mention that the operation may be asynchronous, or that the agent should check status via sdcloud_get_install_ca_certificate_status. The description covers only basic parameter hints, leaving significant gaps for an agent to use the tool correctly.
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?
The schema covers 75% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by explicitly stating that ca_certificate_content is base64-encoded and that ca_profile_id is associated. However, device_uuid and ca_certificate_file_name are not mentioned, and the schema already provides descriptions for the latter two. Overall, the description provides some additional semantic clarity but does not fully compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (install a CA certificate) and the resource (device), and the mention of 'multipart upload' and parameters adds specificity. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from similar sibling tools like sdcloud_install_device_local_certificate or sdcloud_install_device_license, though the resource type 'CA certificate' provides some differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., listing certificates, installing local certificates). There are no prerequisites mentioned, such as the device or CA profile existing, nor any context on typical use cases or when to avoid this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, pagination, data volume, or side effects. It simply states the action without any additional behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but possibly too brief. While there is no wasted text, it sacrifices informativeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and 6 parameters with 0% schema coverage, the description is very sparse. It lacks details on return format, pagination behavior, required parameter significance, and overall data context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the tool description provides no explanation of any of the 6 parameters (e.g., 'from', 'size', 'fields', 'sortby', 'filters', 'policy_id'). The description adds no value to understanding parameter semantics.
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 ('List'), resource ('device/site assignments'), and context ('for a firewall policy'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_batch_firewall_policy_assignments and sdcloud_list_firewall_policies.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description only states what it does, without any context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or when to choose another tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as pagination (implied by 'from' and 'size' parameters), ordering ('sortby'), filtering ('filters'), or field selection ('fields'). It also does not indicate if the operation is read-only or if special permissions are required.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded but lacks structure; however, for the purpose, it is efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 6 parameters and no output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, pagination behavior, filtering options, or how to structure the query. A more complete description would include these details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 6 parameters (from, size, fields, sortby, filters, policy_id). Only 'policy_id' is implicitly tied to 'for a NAT policy', but no details on format or usage. The description adds no meaningful parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'device/site assignments for a NAT policy'. It is distinct from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules which list rules, not assignments. However, it could be more specific about what 'assignments' entails, e.g., which devices or sites.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling set includes many similar listing tools, but the description does not mention when to prefer this tool, nor does it specify prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states 'set/update' but fails to mention that this is a destructive overwrite, whether permissions are needed, or any side effects. The singleton note is useful but insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short (two sentences), but it omits critical information. While concise in word count, it is under-specified and lacks necessary detail to be useful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with a complex nested object parameter and no output schema or annotations, the description is completely inadequate. The agent has no information about what the body should contain, the effect of the operation, or the response format.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema coverage is 100% for the single 'body' parameter, but the description adds no meaning beyond the schema's generic 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The agent cannot infer the required structure or fields of the body.
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 the action (set/update) and the resource (proxy server configuration), and it adds that it's a singleton, which distinguishes it from other proxy server tools like sdcloud_get_proxy_server_config. The verb 'set/update' is specific and actionable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as sdcloud_create_proxy_server or sdcloud_update_proxy_server. The description does not mention preconditions, context, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention idempotency, error handling, or return value. A simple 'Update...' is insufficient for an agent to understand side effects or requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. It is concise but at the expense of completeness; a few more sentences would improve utility without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and the presence of a complex nested parameter (body), the description is severely incomplete. An agent lacks information on constructing the request body, expected output, error states, and any prerequisites.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no semantic value to the parameters. The schema covers only one of two parameters (body has a generic description), and the tool description does not explain what fields the body should contain or the role of uuid. Schema coverage is 50%, and the description does not compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (update) and resource (address object) and the identifier (UUID). While it distinguishes from create/delete siblings, it doesn't elaborate on scope or constraints, but the purpose is immediately understandable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to update vs. create or delete). The context of use is entirely implied, and there are no prerequisites or selection criteria provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only states 'update' without disclosing behavioral traits such as permissions, idempotency, side effects, or return values. Transparency is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence without unnecessary words. It is concise, though perhaps too sparse to be helpful. No structural issues.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and low schema coverage, the description is inadequate. It fails to explain what an exempt rule is, required fields, or any constraints, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is low (only 'body' has a description) and the description adds no parameter details. It does not explain 'rule_uuid' or 'profile_uuid', nor the expected structure of 'body' beyond a vague reference.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses specific action 'Update' and resource 'exempt rule within an IPS profile', clearly indicating the tool's purpose. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like create or delete for the same resource, so clarity is slightly reduced.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., creating a new exempt rule or updating other IPS profile elements). The description lacks context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention any behavioral traits such as idempotency, conflict handling, side effects, or error scenarios. Agents cannot determine what happens on success/failure.
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, no filler, direct to the point. Efficient use of space.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple CRUD update tool, the description omits essential context like return value, error handling, and required permissions. The presence of an output schema could mitigate this, but none is provided.
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 50% (only 'body' has a description). The description adds that 'body' is a JSON request object matching a target schema, which is helpful but vague. The 'uuid' parameter is left undefined, relying solely on its name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update', the resource 'scheduler object', and the method 'by UUID'. It is unambiguous but lacks context about what a scheduler is or that it's part of Security Director Cloud, but it sufficiently differentiates from sibling update tools by resource name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives like sdcloud_create_scheduler or sdcloud_get_scheduler. The description does not mention prerequisites, preconditions, or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It lacks details on idempotency, whether it's a patch or replacement, required existing object, side effects, or error conditions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence with no filler words. However, it may be too brief at the expense of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has a nested object parameter and no output schema or annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the body schema, return values, or prerequisites, making it hard for an agent to use correctly without additional context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only body has a description). The description adds minimal context: 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema' but does not explain the uuid parameter or valid body fields. The tool description does not compensate for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (Update) and resource (SecIntel profile object) and includes the identifier method (by UUID). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_update_secintel_profile_group' by the specific resource, but does not explain what a SecIntel profile is.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus create, get, or delete siblings. No prerequisites or alternative suggestions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states 'Update' implying mutation, but does not disclose permissions, idempotency, side effects, or response behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence. However, for a mutation tool with nested parameters, front-loading minimal info may omit critical details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (3 required params, nested body object, no output schema) and the rich set of sibling mapping tools, the description is too sparse. It does not explain what a device mapping is, how the body should be structured, or what the response looks like.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 33% (only body has a description). The description adds for body: 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which provides general shape but no concrete fields. Template_id and device_id lack any description. At 33% coverage, the description should compensate more.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'device mapping for a template'. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get, list, delete, and batch_save by specifying that it updates a single mapping for a given device and template.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_batch_save_template_mappings or when prerequisites like fetching the existing mapping are needed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states 'create', implying a mutation, but fails to disclose behavioral traits such as required permissions, side effects (e.g., whether deployment is triggered), or reversibility.
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, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested object parameter, no output schema), the description lacks completeness. It does not explain the return value (e.g., created profile ID) or any post-creation state. A more complete description would include response details or prerequisites.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has a single 'body' parameter described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which is vague. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond this generic schema description, leaving the agent without guidance on the required fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'create' and the resource 'content security profile object', which distinguishes it from other security profile tools like anti_spam or content_filtering. However, it does not specify any additional scope or constraints.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or when not to use it. Sibling tools include many similar create operations, but no differentiation is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must carry the burden. It does not disclose side effects, permissions, reversibility, or the nature of the 'body' parameter's flexibility. The open-ended body (additionalProperties) could be error-prone without more detail.
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, no filler. Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, 3 required params including an open-ended object, and many sibling tools, the description is too thin. It does not explain the concept of rule groups, their role in policies, or expected response.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 67%; policy_uuid lacks description. The description adds minimal value: 'within a firewall policy scope' hints at scope. The body description is generic ('JSON request body matching...'). The tool adds little beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a rule group within a firewall policy scope' clearly states the action and resource. It distinguishes from update/delete/get siblings but does not differentiate from creating a rule in a group (sdcloud_create_firewall_policy_rule_in_group) or creating a policy rule directly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like creating a rule directly or using other group operations. No prerequisites mentioned (e.g., policy must exist). The agent must infer from context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits, but it only states the creation action. It does not mention side effects, idempotency, authentication requirements, or error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but structurally minimal. It does not waste words, but it could be more informative while still being concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the nested object parameter and lack of output schema or annotations, the description is insufficient. The agent lacks information about what the ICAP server object is, required fields in the body, or expected return behavior.
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?
The single parameter 'body' is described in the schema as a JSON request body. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Since schema coverage is 100%, baseline is 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('ICAP server object'). However, it does not distinguish between creating an ICAP server and creating an ICAP profile, which could confuse an AI agent selecting among sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_create_icap_profile. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or context for usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic action without disclosing effects like irreversibility, cascading deletions, permission requirements, or side effects. This is insufficient for safe usage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with a single sentence. It front-loads the key action and object, but could benefit from additional structure like effects or examples without becoming verbose.
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?
Given the single parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate: it tells the agent to delete a service by UUID. However, it lacks context on how to obtain the UUID, confirmation of deletion, or post-deletion behavior, which is important for a destructive operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description only mentions 'by UUID' without adding detail on format, source, or validation. The agent gains no extra meaning beyond the schema's type field.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'service object' with a specific identifier 'UUID'. It is distinct from sibling tools like sdcloud_delete_site or sdcloud_delete_anti_spam_profile. However, it lacks context on what a 'service object' is, which may be assumed but not explained.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as updating or disabling a service. There is no mention of prerequisites, consequences, or conditions for deletion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'Delete' without disclosing whether deletion is permanent, any restrictions (e.g., in-use profiles), required permissions, or error conditions. No annotations are provided to supplement.
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, efficient sentence with no redundant information. It is appropriately brief for a simple delete operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description fails to explain return values, error handling, or preconditions. The tool's behavior in edge cases (e.g., deleting a non-existent UUID) is unclear.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds 'by UUID' to the parameter, but the schema has 0% coverage and no further details (e.g., format, source, examples) are provided, leaving the agent to guess what the UUID references.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'web filtering profile object', and specifies the identifier 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from siblings by the resource type, but is generic compared to other profile delete tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or consequences mentioned. The many sibling delete tools for similar profiles make this omission critical.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as permissions needed, error scenarios (e.g., group not found), or idempotency. It only implicitly indicates a read operation.
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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the action. No unnecessary words or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 required parameters and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not mention return values, prerequisites, or the relationship to other firewall policy tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema coverage is only 33% (only 'scope' has a description). The tool description adds no parameter-level details beyond the schema, leaving the UUIDs without explanation. Context helps, but explicit description is missing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'single rule group within a firewall policy scope'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list, create, update, and delete by using 'get'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_firewall_policy_rule_groups for retrieving all groups, or get_firewall_policy_rule_in_group for a specific rule). The description only states what it does.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies a read-only operation ('Get'), which is appropriate. However, no annotations exist to clarify safety, and there's no mention of polling behavior or possible side effects. Adequate but minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence). While it wastes no words, it lacks structure such as prerequisites, return value hints, or examples. Balanced but could be improved.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description is insufficient for an agent to understand the response format or any prerequisites. The tool's functionality (status polling) requires more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter 'install_ca_certificate_id' has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and the tool description adds no meaning beyond the name. It does not hint how to obtain this ID or its format.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'status of CA certificate installation job', distinguishing it from siblings like 'sdcloud_get_delete_certificate_status' or 'sdcloud_install_device_ca_certificate'. However, it could be more specific about what 'status' entails.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool (e.g., after initiating installation) or how it compares to other status tools. No when-not-to-use or alternative references.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Get an IPS vulnerability by UUID' without indicating whether it is read-only, what happens if the UUID is invalid, authentication requirements, or any side effects. The minimal description leaves significant behavioral ambiguity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
At one sentence, the description is extremely concise but underspecified. It lacks crucial details that would earn its place, such as output description or usage hints. The brevity sacrifices clarity for minimalism.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has one required parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should at minimum indicate what the output contains (e.g., vulnerability details) or any prerequisites. It only states the action and parameter, leaving the agent without sufficient context to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage on the required 'uuid' parameter. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, failing to specify the expected format (e.g., standard UUID) or how to obtain the value. This does not compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
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 the action 'Get' and the resource 'IPS vulnerability' with the identifier 'by UUID'. It effectively distinguishes the tool from its sibling 'sdcloud_list_ips_vulnerabilities' which lists all vulnerabilities rather than retrieving a specific one.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sdcloud_list_ips_vulnerabilities'. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as needing to obtain the UUID from a list operation first, nor are there any exclusions or context for appropriate use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the basic function. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, whether authentication or specific permissions are required, or what happens if the policy_id does not exist. There is no contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at one sentence, providing the core purpose efficiently. It is front-loaded with the action and resource. However, it could include more detail without being overly verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of an output schema and the presence of two parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not indicate what the return value looks like or how the optional parameter affects the response. This leaves the agent guessing about the output structure.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description carries the full burden of explaining parameters, but it mentions none. The two parameters (policy_id and include_assigned_devices) are not described at all, leaving the agent with no information about their meaning or format.
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 specifies the action (Get) and the resource (deployment state of a NAT policy), with concrete examples of possible states (up to date, pending, out of sync). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_nat_policy (which likely retrieves configuration) and sdcloud_deploy_nat_policy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to check deployment state via sdcloud_get_nat_policy or other monitoring tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical scenarios, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action (get status) without mentioning side effects, read-only nature, authentication requirements, or any other behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence with no fluff. It is efficient, but could include more useful information without becoming verbose.
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?
Given the simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate. However, it does not mention what the response contains, which would be helpful for an agent. The context of sibling tools suggests a need for more differentiation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'preview_id' but only in the phrase 'by preview_id' without explaining what the ID is, how to obtain it, or any constraints. This adds minimal meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'get', the resource 'status of a bulk policy preview job', and the identifier 'preview_id'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like get_policy_preview_job_device_status, but does not explain what 'bulk policy preview job' means or how it differs from other preview jobs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that this tool should be used after starting a preview job, nor does it specify any prerequisites or conditions for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description adds no behavioral details beyond the basic action. It does not disclose read-only nature, potential side effects, rate limits, or required permissions. The agent cannot infer safety or constraints from this minimal text.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence (12 words), concise and front-loaded. However, it omits valuable additional context that could be included without harming conciseness, such as parameter purpose or usage notes.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, annotations, and parameter descriptions, the tool definition is incomplete. The agent lacks information about return format, prerequisites, and possible errors. A simple getter still needs more context for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for parameters, and the tool description does not explain what validate_id or device_id represent. The agent must guess their meaning from names alone, which is insufficient for correct invocation.
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 the tool's purpose: getting per-device results of a template validate job. It uses a specific verb 'Get' and names the resource precisely, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_template_validate_status (overall status) and get_template_preview_result_by_device (preview).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., after a validate job completes) or exclude cases like overall status. The agent must rely on the tool name alone for context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must fully disclose behavior. It implies a read-only operation but doesn't state non-destructiveness, rate limits, or return format. Lacks details on pagination defaults or data freshness.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, concise but lacks structure. Key info is front-loaded, but could benefit from bullet points or separate examples. Adequate but not optimally structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It doesn't explain pagination mechanics, default behavior, or result format. Agents need more context to use effectively.
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 covers all 5 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds no extra meaning beyond 'pagination, filtering, sorting'. Baseline 3 applies as schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and the resource 'address objects', and mentions optional features (pagination, filtering, sorting). It distinguishes from sibling get/update/delete tools for addresses, but lacks explicit scope (e.g., all addresses in tenant?). Could be more specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_address or sdcloud_create_address. No context about prerequisites or appropriate use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention that the operation is read-only, that results are paginated (despite pagination parameters in schema), or any other side effects. The description is too sparse.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary details. While it is not verbose, it is under-specified. Every sentence should earn its place, and this one does not add enough value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 8 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not mention pagination, required parent resources, or the structure of the response. The description fails to provide a complete picture for the agent.
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?
The schema description coverage is 75%, so the schema already documents most parameters. The description adds no additional meaning, e.g., it does not explain the relationship between profile_uuid and rule_set_uuid or how to obtain them. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and the resource 'rules within an enhanced content filtering profile rule set'. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling tool 'sdcloud_list_enhanced_content_filtering_rule_sets', which lists rule sets, not rules. The purpose is clear but lacks sibling differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites like needing a profile and rule set UUID. The description simply states what it does, not when it should be used.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions pagination, filtering, and sorting but does not disclose if the operation is read-only, requires specific permissions, or has any side effects. The lack of behavioral detail is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (10 words), but it is so brief that it fails to provide enough context for an AI agent. Conciseness is good, but it comes at the cost of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
There is no output schema and the description does not hint at what the response contains (e.g., list of profile IDs, full objects). For a list tool with 5 optional parameters, the description is incomplete.
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 coverage is 100%, with each parameter documented in the input schema. The description's mention of 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' is a high-level summary that adds marginal value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists ICAP profile objects, with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. The verb 'list' and resource 'ICAP profile objects' are specific, but it does not differentiate itself from sibling list tools like sdcloud_list_ipsec_profiles aside from the resource type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_icap_profile (for a single profile) or sdcloud_create_icap_profile. The description does not explain when pagination or filtering is beneficial.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It states 'list' implying a read-only operation, but does not specify safety (e.g., no side effects), authentication needs, rate limits, or error behavior (e.g., what happens if profile_uuid is invalid). The absence of such details leaves agents with insufficient behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks any structure such as important sections (e.g., pagination details, value defaults). It is not overly verbose but under-specifies for a tool with 5 parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain pagination mechanics, filtering via the 'filters' parameter, result ordering, or the output format. This leaves an agent unprepared to correctly invoke the tool or interpret its results.
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 80% (4 of 5 parameters have descriptions), so the schema already conveys parameter meaning. The tool description adds no additional information about parameters beyond what the schema provides, leading to a neutral score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'exempt rules within an IPS profile', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_create_ips_profile_exempt_rule' (create) and 'sdcloud_list_ips_profile_rules' (lists regular rules). However, it could be more specific about scope (e.g., 'all exempt rules') and implicitly mentions pagination via input schema parameters.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as 'sdcloud_list_ips_profile_rules' or 'sdcloud_get_ips_profile_exempt_rule'. It lacks context for appropriate usage and no exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must carry full burden. Only states 'selective subset' without explaining how subset is specified or any side effects (e.g., overwriting config, required permissions). Insufficient for safe invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise but lacks structure; no additional sections or details. Adequately front-loads purpose but could be expanded into multiple sentences for clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 2 params (with vague schema descriptions), no output schema, and complex selective deployment scenario, description is severely lacking. Does not explain how to specify the device subset, required body format, or expected results.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description does not add meaning beyond input schema. Schema coverage is 50%: policy_id has no description, body has generic 'JSON request body...'. No explanation of what fields are needed for selective deployment.
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?
Description clearly states it deploys a NAT policy to a selective subset of devices, using specific verb 'Deploy' and resource 'NAT policy'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_deploy_nat_policy and sdcloud_selective_deploy_firewall_policy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 vs alternatives (e.g., full deploy or firewall selective deploy). The selective nature is implied but not compared to other deployment tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It only states the basic update operation; it does not disclose whether the update is a full replacement or partial, required existence of the object, error behavior, or idempotency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but too terse, omitting essential context. It is front-loaded but could benefit from additional sentences without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the tool (updating a security profile with a nested body) and lack of output schema, the description fails to explain what the profile is, common fields, or the effect of the update. It is insufficient for an agent to use correctly without external knowledge.
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 coverage is 50%: 'uuid' lacks description, 'body' has a generic description. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, and does not explain what the body should contain or how to structure it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Update'), the resource ('content security profile object'), and the identifier method ('by UUID'). It differentiates from sibling create/get/delete tools, though it doesn't elaborate on the scope of updates.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create or other profile updates. No prerequisites or context for usage are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description does not disclose mutation details, side effects, permissions, or idempotency. The agent cannot infer behavior beyond 'update'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise but too brief given the complexity. It lacks necessary detail without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With numerous sibling NAT policy tools, the description fails to explain what updating a policy entails (full replacement? partial update?). No output schema, no return value info.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50%. The description adds no extra meaning for 'id' or 'body'. The body description is generic ('matching the target schema') and does not clarify expected structure or common fields.
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 the action (update), resource (NAT policy), and method (by ID). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like create, delete, or list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus updating rules or other NAT policy components. No prerequisites or when-not-to-use are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries full burden, but it only states the effect (entering RMA state) without disclosing whether the operation is destructive, reversible, requires permissions, triggers workflows, or has 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient, though slightly more structured detail could improve clarity without bloating.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description fails to mention return values, error conditions, prerequisites, or the broader RMA workflow context, making it incomplete for safe agent invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% with body described vaguely as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The description adds no further detail on parameters, and device_id lacks any elaboration beyond the schema type.
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 the action ('Put a device into RMA state') and the resource ('device'). It distinguishes the tool from siblings like sdcloud_reactivate_rma_device by specifying the RMA state activation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus siblings like sdcloud_get_rma_device_state, sdcloud_reactivate_rma_device, or sdcloud_set_rma_reactivation_preferences. The description lacks context 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.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'batch-assign or unassign' but does not specify idempotency, effect on existing assignments, whether validation is performed, or success/failure indicators. The body parameter's description is generic ('JSON request body matching target schema'), adding no behavioral insight.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the core action. It is front-loaded and to the point, but could benefit from more detail without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (batch operation, no output schema, 2 parameters, many siblings), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on request body structure, possible outcomes, error handling, and how it integrates with the NAT policy lifecycle (e.g., deployment needed). An agent may struggle to use it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body has description, policy_id does not). The description adds nothing beyond the schema: it does not explain what the body must contain (e.g., list of device/site IDs, operation type) or how policy_id is used. A richer description could clarify parameter roles.
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 the tool performs batch assign or unassign of devices/sites for a NAT policy. The verb 'batch-assign or unassign' combined with the resource 'devices/sites for a NAT policy' is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_nat_policy_assignments (list only) and sdcloud_deploy_nat_policy (deploy).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs siblings (e.g., individual assignment tools, if they exist) or prerequisites (e.g., policy must exist, devices must be registered). The description does not mention any preconditions or exclusions, leaving the agent without context for proper selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'batch-create/update' but does not disclose idempotency, error handling (e.g., partial failures), return format, or side effects. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, clear sentence with no fluff. It is appropriately front-loaded. However, given the tool's complexity, slightly more detail (e.g., about the body format) could be added without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, and annotations are absent. The tool handles batch upsert operations, but the description omits critical details like required body structure, response format, or partial failure behavior. This is inadequate for an agent to use reliably without prior domain knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body described, template_id not). The description adds no parameter-level details beyond the schema. The body parameter's description is vague ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'), providing no concrete guidance. The template_id missing description is not compensated.
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 the verb 'batch-create/update' and the resource 'device-to-template variable mappings for a template', distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_template_mapping (single mapping update) and sdcloud_list_template_mappings (list). It specifies the action and scope succinctly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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. The description implies batch operations but does not explain prerequisites, scale limits, or when to prefer individual update/list tools. This leaves the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations and the description is extremely brief. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as idempotency, return value, validation, or error handling, which is critical for a bulk operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded, but it lacks structure and omits crucial details that would justify such brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Without annotations or output schema, and given the vague parameter description, the tool definition is incomplete. An agent cannot reliably construct the request or understand the outcome.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The parameter 'body' is described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which is vague. It adds no specific guidance on required fields or structure beyond the schema, which shows additionalProperties: true.
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 the verb 'create' and resource 'multiple sites in a single bulk request', distinguishing it from the sibling sdcloud_create_site.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_create_site for single creation, or bulk from other contexts). Missing explicit 'when not to use' or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states that the tool triggers a cleanup job and mentions the body requires cleanup_mode. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether objects/rules are deleted, permissions needed, or if the job is asynchronous. Minimal disclosure.
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 with no wasted words. Every word earns its place, providing essential information efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With two required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the cleanup job entails, what responses to expect, accepted cleanup_mode values (only an example given), or prerequisites. Leaves many operational gaps.
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?
The description adds meaning to the body parameter by specifying that it requires cleanup_mode (e.g., STRICT). However, it does not describe the policy_id parameter or provide details on the body's structure beyond the example. Schema coverage is 50%, and the description partially compensates.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Trigger' and resource 'cleanup job for unused objects/rules referencing a firewall policy'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_cleanup_nat_policy, but could further differentiate from sdcloud_start_policy_cleanup_job, which may be a generic trigger.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives an example of cleanup_mode (e.g., STRICT) but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy or sdcloud_start_policy_cleanup_job. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits. It fails to mention if the tool is idempotent, what happens if a profile already exists, authentication requirements, or any side effects. The description is silent on these aspects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and front-loaded with the action. No unnecessary words, but excessively brief given the tool's complexity. It could include more detail without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a CRUD tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It omits information about response structure, error conditions, required body fields, and typical usage patterns, leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'body' is described in the schema as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema,' which is vague and unhelpful. The tool description adds no additional meaning about required fields, structure, or constraints, failing to compensate for the schema's poor description.
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 explicitly states 'Create a new anti-spam profile object,' clearly indicating the verb ('Create') and resource ('anti-spam profile object'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_anti_spam_profile, sdcloud_delete_anti_spam_profile, etc., which are apparent from sibling names.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, typical scenarios, or whether to use update instead of create for existing profiles. The description lacks context for appropriate use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only says 'create' without disclosing behavioral traits like idempotency, side effects, or auth requirements. Agent cannot infer safety or repeatability.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no wasted words, but lacks important details. Acceptably concise though not front-loaded with critical info.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested object, no output schema, many siblings), the description is too brief. It doesn't explain the body structure, response, or how it fits with other tools.
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% (body parameter has a description), so baseline is 3. The description does not add further meaning beyond what the schema provides.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no superfluous words. It is appropriately concise, though it could be expanded slightly to include more context without losing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the single flexible parameter with a vague schema description, the tool description lacks completeness. It does not explain what a device software image definition is, how it fits into the lifecycle (list, deploy, stage), or what the request body should contain.
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%, so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add meaning beyond the schema, which itself only describes the body as 'JSON request body matching the target schema'—vague but present.

Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single concise sentence with no extra words. Action is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a creation tool with nested object parameter, no output schema, and many siblings, the description lacks return value info, error conditions, and overall context. Insufficient for full understanding.
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 defines only 'body' as empty object (100% coverage), but description adds typical fields (name, description, all_site_policy, order). Adds some meaning beyond schema, though not comprehensive.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a new firewall policy' with a specific verb and resource. It hints at typical body fields, distinguishing it from update/delete siblings, but does not differentiate from other create tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like creating a firewall policy rule. No prerequisites or exclusions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only indicates a mutation (create) but does not mention idempotency, validation, or what happens if a duplicate profile exists. The lack of an output schema also reduces transparency.
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 sentence with no superfluous words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a create tool with a complex input object and no output schema, the description lacks essential context such as what an ICAP profile is, required fields in the body, or typical usage patterns. Given the extensive list of sibling tools, more completeness is needed.
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 coverage is 100% with one parameter 'body' described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Create) and the resource (ICAP profile object). However, it does not differentiate from many sibling create tools for other profile types (e.g., sdcloud_create_anti_spam_profile). The term 'ICAP profile' is not clarified.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as sdcloud_create_icap_server or other profile creation tools. No prerequisites, context, or success criteria are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'create,' which implies mutation but omits details on permissions, idempotency, side effects, or whether duplicates are allowed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded, making it easy to parse. However, it is overly terse, sacrificing useful detail for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description provides insufficient guidance. The agent cannot determine required fields, constraints, or the return value after creation. Sibling tools (list, get, update, delete) are not referenced.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The parameter 'body' has a generic schema description ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') that provides no concrete meaning. The tool description adds no additional information about required fields, structure, or examples.
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 explicitly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('a new IPS profile object'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools that list, get, update, or delete IPS profiles.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update vs. create). The description lacks context for selecting this tool among many profile-related siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full burden. It mentions the typical body fields but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the operation is destructive, idempotent, or requires validation. The flexible 'additionalProperties' in the body parameter is not flagged as a potential risk.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no superfluous words. The structure is functional, though the list of body fields could be more structured (e.g., bullet points). Overall efficient and to the point.
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?
Considering the tool has 3 parameters (two with no schema description), no output schema, and no annotations, the description partially compensates by detailing the body content. However, it omits important context like the requirement that the policy and group exist beforehand, and it does not mention the return value or error handling. Adequate but not thorough.
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?
The schema covers only the 'body' parameter with a vague description. The description adds useful hints about typical fields (name, nat_type, etc.) that the schema lacks. However, 'policy_id' and 'group_id' remain completely undocumented in both schema and description, limiting overall semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a rule inside a NAT policy rule group') and lists typical body fields, distinguishing it from sibling tool 'sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule' which creates rules outside a group. However, it does not explicitly contrast with that sibling, so clarity is good but not exceptional.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like 'sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule' or 'sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule_in_group' (only one such tool exists). No prerequisites or context provided. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description only says 'Create', implying mutation but lacks details on idempotency, permissions, side effects, or what happens if the pool already exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, concise, and to the point. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a basic creation tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimal. It lacks behavioral transparency and usage guidelines, making it incomplete for an agent to use confidently.
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?
The schema only describes 'body' as a JSON object matching a schema. The description adds typical fields (name, description, pool_type, pool_address), providing some value beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate since schema coverage is 100%.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it creates a new NAT pool object and lists typical fields. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_update_nat_pool' or 'sdcloud_list_nat_pools', though the verb 'create' is distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites, no conditions or exclusions stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'create' which implies a write operation, but no details on side effects, required permissions, or what the tool returns (no output schema).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no fluff. It is short but not overly terse for a simple creation tool, though it could include more detail without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and a complex object parameter, the description lacks completeness. It fails to explain what the tool returns, any prerequisites, or how it fits into the broader workflow of proxy server management.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no meaning beyond the input schema. The schema describes body as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema' which is vague, and the description does not clarify or provide examples.
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 the tool creates a new proxy server object, which is a specific verb-resource pair. It distinguishes from sibling CRUD tools for proxy servers (list, get, update, delete).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool or alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, required permissions, or contexts where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits like side effects, permissions, or implications of creation. It offers no insight into what happens beyond the creation action, leaving the agent unaware of potential consequences.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that efficiently communicates the basic purpose. It is front-loaded and free of fluff, but could benefit from slightly more detail without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of annotations and output schema, and the complexity of the nested body parameter, the description is severely lacking. It does not explain how web filtering profiles fit into the broader system, nor does it provide enough information for the agent to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'body' is described generically as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema,' which adds no meaningful detail beyond the schema definition. The description does not explain expected fields, structure, or examples, providing little help for constructing valid input.
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 'Create a new web filtering profile object' clearly states the action (create) and the resource (web filtering profile). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools with different verbs like update, delete, get, and list, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as prerequisites, context, or when not to use it. It simply states the action without any usage context, forcing the agent to rely solely on the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description does not disclose behavioral traits such as permanence of deletion, cascading effects, required permissions, or error conditions. For a delete operation, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no extraneous words, front-loaded. However, it is too concise to be informative beyond purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete operation, the description lacks critical details about consequences and prerequisites, making it insufficient for an agent to use safely and effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, the description adds only 'by UUID' indicating the use of the uuid parameter. It does not specify format, source, or constraints. Minimal added value over the parameter name.

Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Delete) and the resource (content filtering profile object) and the method (by UUID). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_content_filtering_profile and sdcloud_update_content_filtering_profile.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use vs alternatives (e.g., prerequisites, ensuring profile exists, irreversible action). The description is purely declarative with no conditional context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Delete by UUID' without mentioning permanence, side effects, cascading deletions, or permission requirements. This is insufficient for a potentially destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at one sentence, which is front-loaded and easy to scan. However, it sacrifices necessary detail; a few more sentences would improve clarity without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a delete tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to mention return values (e.g., success/failure, empty response), error conditions, or whether the operation is idempotent. This leaves the agent with significant uncertainty.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description adds no extra meaning for the 'uuid' parameter beyond what the schema provides (type string, required). It does not clarify expected format (e.g., standard UUID format) or constraints.
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 the action ('Delete'), the resource ('device group'), and the identifier method ('by UUID'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools that perform other operations on device groups (list, create, get, update).

Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations and no description of behavioral traits, the agent is left uninformed about side effects, idempotency, error handling (e.g., what happens if UUID doesn't exist), or authorization requirements. The description only reveals the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that delivers the core purpose. However, it could be slightly longer to include critical behavioral or parameter details without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a one-parameter delete tool with no output schema, the description should at least cover what happens upon success/failure, but it doesn't. The context of per-device settings is hinted but not elaborated. Incomplete for reliable agent usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Given the tool's complexity (destructive operation, two required UUID parameters, no output schema or annotations), the description is too brief. It omits critical context: that the operation is irreversible, that the profile and rule must exist, and what the expected outcome or return value is. The agent would be underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention or explain the two parameters (rule_uuid and profile_uuid). Although parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the description adds no semantic value beyond the schema structure, failing to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
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 the action 'Delete' and the resource 'exempt rule within an IPS profile'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_delete_ips_profile' (deletes entire profile) and 'sdcloud_delete_ips_profile_rule' (deletes regular rule) by specifying 'exempt rule'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing profile UUID and rule UUID from list/get tools) or context in which deletion is appropriate. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the action without disclosing effects like irreversibility, permission requirements, or impact on related rules. For a delete operation, more transparency is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. It is front-loaded with the action and object, but no additional context. For a simple tool, it is minimally acceptable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With one parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should cover more context. It omits return values, error handling, idempotency, or success conditions, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the 'id' parameter. The description adds only 'by ID' with no elaboration on format, validation, or how to retrieve the ID. It fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
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 'Delete a NAT policy by ID' clearly states the verb (delete) and the resource (NAT policy), with a specific identifier method (by ID). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_nat_policy and sdcloud_get_nat_policy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as sdcloud_cleanup_nat_policy or sdcloud_deploy_nat_policy. No prerequisites, conditions, or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so description must disclose behavior. It only states 'delete' with no mention of irreversibility, side effects (e.g., cascading deletes), or required permissions.
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 with no wasted words, front-loaded with key action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, no annotations, and no behavioral context. A delete operation should mention typical implications (irreversibility, dependency checks) for 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 has 0% coverage; description adds 'by pool ID' which clarifies the purpose of pool_id but provides no format, constraints, or examples.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates 'Delete' (implied irreversible), but does not disclose permissions, side effects, or whether the operation is permanent. Lacks detail beyond the verb.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it may be too terse, sacrificing useful context for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description should indicate irreversibility, authorization needs, or relationship to other objects. It lacks these details, making it incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It only mentions 'by UUID' without explaining the UUID's purpose, format, or how to obtain it. The schema provides a string type but no semantic help.
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 the verb 'Delete', the resource 'URL category list object', and the identifying method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from sibling tools that create, list, update, or get URL category lists.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or post-conditions. It only implies use for deletion of a specific object.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose whether deletion is irreversible, any dependencies, or side effects. For a deletion tool, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and efficient, but it lacks structure (e.g., no clear indication of action outcome). Could be slightly improved with front-loading key points.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the basic action, lacking details on response format, error scenarios, authentication, or side effects. The agent cannot infer important behaviors like whether it returns a full object or just a summary.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the key action. It is not verbose, but the extreme brevity sacrifices necessary context. Still, it is efficiently structured for its length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with one required parameter and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain the return value or provide any usage hints, leaving the agent with insufficient context to use it effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% with no description for the 'uuid' parameter. The description only says 'by UUID' without explaining what the UUID represents or how to obtain it. The agent may not know that this is the signature UUID from list_ips_signatures.
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 the verb 'Get', the resource 'IPS signature object', and the method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes well from sibling tools like list_ips_signatures (listing all) and create/update/delete (mutations).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_ips_signatures, get_ips_context, or other get tools. No prerequisites, caveats, or exclusions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Get' with no mention of idempotency, permissions, rate limits, or side effects. The minimal description fails to compensate for missing annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short phrase with no wasted words, but it is not structured as a complete sentence. It could benefit from being slightly more informative while remaining concise.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of sibling tools for grouped rules, the description adequately distinguishes it as 'ungrouped'. However, it omits details about the return value and the fact that both parameters are required, which reduces completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the purpose of 'policy_id' and 'rule_id' or how they relate. The term 'ungrouped' in the description is not reflected in the parameters, leaving the agent without semantic context.
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 'Get an ungrouped NAT policy rule' clearly specifies the action (Get) and the resource (ungrouped NAT policy rule), distinguishing it from sibling tools that operate on grouped rules or other NAT resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_nat_policy_rules, get_nat_policy_rule_in_group, etc. The agent receives no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided. The description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond implying a read operation. It does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only, idempotent, or safe, nor does it mention any side effects or special requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the action. However, it is slightly too terse, but still efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of an output schema and annotations, the description should explain what the tool returns. It does not. The tool is simple, but the description is incomplete for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior and expectations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the parameters (`policy_id` and `group_id`) lack any semantic explanation in the schema or description. The tool description does not compensate by explaining the purpose or format of these parameters.
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 the action ('Get'), the resource ('rule group'), and the context ('within a NAT policy'). It effectively distinguishes the tool from siblings like list, create, delete, and move operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as `sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rule_groups` or `sdcloud_get_nat_policy_rule_in_group`. No context, prerequisites, or exclusivity conditions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action without mentioning that it is read-only, what happens if the file does not exist, or any side effects. The minimal description fails to provide sufficient transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (one sentence) and front-loaded, but it omits essential information. It is efficient but insufficiently informative, balancing brevity and completeness poorly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and simple parameter, the description does not explain what fields are returned, nor does it mention the existence of related tools like sdcloud_list_pac_files. The context is incomplete for a full understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds only 'by name', which does little beyond the property name. No format, constraints, or examples are provided, leaving the parameter underspecified.
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 the action ('Get'), the resource ('PAC file'), and the identifier ('by name'). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_pac_files.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_list_pac_files) or any prerequisites. The description lacks context for usage decisions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Get the per-device result' without specifying whether the result is immediate, requires job completion, or any other behavioral traits. The format parameter is mentioned in schema but not explained in description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but maybe too brief given the tool has three parameters. It lacks structure but is not verbose. It earns its place but could be more informative without being excessively long.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of an output schema and annotations, the description should provide more context about what the result contains and any prerequisites. It does not explain the nature of the result, making it incomplete for an agent to understand fully.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is low (33%), and the description adds no information about parameters. The preview_id and device_id parameters are not described, and even the format parameter's description is only in the schema. The description does not clarify what these parameters represent or how to use them.
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 retrieves per-device results of a bulk policy preview job, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_policy_preview_job (which likely gets overall job status) and sdcloud_start_policy_preview_job.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as requiring a preview job to have been started and completed, nor does it differentiate from similar status/result tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral disclosure burden. It indicates a read operation ('Get') but does not mention idempotency, required job state, potential error cases, or output format limitations. Very limited behavioral insight.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the essential action and scope. Could slightly benefit from adding a note about required job state but remains concise and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has no output schema, and the description does not indicate what fields the per-device result contains (e.g., status, error messages). Given the complexity of the sibling set and the missing output schema, the description is incomplete for an agent to understand the full context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only the 'format' parameter has a description in the schema ('Optional result format, e.g. text or json'), covering 33% of parameters. The description adds no extra meaning to device_id or selective_deploy_id, failing to compensate for the low schema coverage.
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 retrieves per-device results for a selective deploy job. It distinctively differentiates from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_policy_selective_deploy_job (which likely gets the job summary) and other per-device status tools for different job types (deploy, preview, cleanup).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, such as prerequisites like job completion status or when to prefer this over the summary job tool. It only states what it does without contextual usage tips.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It implies read-only access but does not confirm idempotency, error behavior, or permissions needed. The description adds little beyond the tool's name.
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 concise sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource. No unnecessary words.
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?
For a simple get tool, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not describe the return value (no output schema) or the nature of a scheduler object. The description should briefly outline what a scheduler is and what the response contains.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, the description must compensate. It mentions 'by UUID' but does not explain the UUID format, source, or what the system does with it. This adds minimal value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a scheduler object by UUID. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list, create, update, and delete schedulers. However, it lacks context on what a scheduler object is.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool over alternatives like list_schedulers. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, error behavior on missing UUID, or permission requirements. It only states the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, front-loading the key information. However, it sacrifices completeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description is inadequate. It does not explain what the returned object contains, possible error states, or any additional context needed for correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description adds only 'by UUID', which is already implied by the parameter name. No format, constraints, or additional meaning is provided.
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 the verb 'Get', the resource 'SWP profile', and the identifier method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like sdcloud_list_swp_profiles, sdcloud_create_swp_profile, etc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not specify that this tool requires a known UUID and is for fetching a single profile vs. listing all profiles.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavior. It only states 'Get the overall status' without disclosing whether it is a read operation, the nature of the response (e.g., polling, eventual consistency), or any prerequisites. This is insufficient for a status-checking tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no redundancy. However, it could be expanded slightly to include essential details without becoming verbose. The front-loading is good.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description fails to provide adequate context. It does not explain the lifecycle of a template deploy job, how to use deploy_id, or what the response contains. The sibling tools offer context implicitly, but the description itself is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the only parameter, deploy_id. The description does not explain what deploy_id represents (e.g., the identifier returned from a deploy operation). Without additional context, an agent cannot determine how to obtain this value.
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 the verb 'Get' and resource 'overall status of a template deploy job', which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_template_deploy_result_by_device (per-device status) or sdcloud_get_template (template details).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_get_template_deploy_result_by_device or sdcloud_get_template_preview_status. The usage context is only implied by the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states what the tool does without mentioning idempotency, error conditions, or any side effects, leaving the agent uninformed about potential pitfalls.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no filler, but it could be expanded slightly to add value without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and the presence of many similar status tools, the description is incomplete: it omits return format, possible statuses, and lifecycle context, making it insufficient for a fully informed agentic decision.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single required parameter validate_id has 0% schema description coverage, and the description does not explain what validate_id represents (e.g., the ID returned by a validate template action), forcing the agent to infer from context.
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 the action (Get) and the resource (template validate job), specifying it returns the overall status. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status or sdcloud_get_template_preview_status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as prerequisites like needing a validate_id from a validate template operation, or when other status tools might be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden. It only states 'Get the count of users,' implying a read operation, but fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as error handling, rate limits, or response format. The description is too minimal for full transparency.
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, clear sentence that immediately states the tool's function. There is no fluff, and every word serves a purpose. It is optimally concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description omits important details. It doesn't specify what the result is (e.g., a number, JSON object), whether the count is for all users or filtered, or any constraints. The lack of annotations makes this gap more significant.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter (tenant_pop_id) with no description. The tool description does not add any meaning beyond the schema; it doesn't explain what 'tenant_pop_id' represents or how it is used. Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description fails to compensate.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Get the count of users for a given tenant POP.' The verb 'Get' and resource 'count of users for a given tenant POP' are specific and differentiate it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_tenant_pops or other get/read tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or mention sibling tools. There is no 'when to use' or 'when not to use' information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full transparency burden. It states 'Install' (write operation) but does not disclose side effects (e.g., overwriting existing certificate, device restart needs), permissions required, or error handling behavior. The mention of multipart upload is a technical detail, but behavioral consequences are missing.
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 24-word sentence. It is concise and front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word contributes meaning without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (7 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It does not explain the return value, error cases, idempotency, or whether installation triggers any device changes. The agent lacks information about success/failure indicators, which is critical for a state-changing operation.
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 coverage is 86% (6 of 7 params have descriptions). The description adds context by summarizing key parameters (certificate_id, base64 files, pass phrase) and noting multipart upload. However, the optional file name parameters are omitted in the description, and the schema already provides adequate explanations. The description adds moderate value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Install) and resource (local certificate and private key on a device). It mentions multipart upload. While it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling sdcloud_install_device_ca_certificate, the distinction is implied by the resource type. The verb+resource combination is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lists required inputs but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternative certificate operations (e.g., installing a CA certificate, deleting a certificate). It lacks prerequisites, prohibitions, or context for selection among siblings like sdcloud_install_device_ca_certificate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It only says 'list' implying read-only, but does not mention permissions, side effects, or default behavior (e.g., whether pagination is required). Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence that conveys the core function. No unnecessary words, but could benefit from slightly more detail without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema and no annotations. The description does not explain what anti-spam profiles are, typical return fields, or how count parameter affects output. For a listing tool, this is insufficient context.
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?
The input schema covers all 5 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the description adds little beyond summarizing that pagination, filtering, and sorting are optional. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it lists anti-spam profiles (verb+resource). However, among many sibling list tools like sdcloud_list_anti_virus_profiles, it does not provide any distinguishing features beyond the resource name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., other list tools, or when filtering is better). The description lacks context for selecting this tool over similar ones.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behaviors. It only says 'list', implying a read operation, but fails to mention side effects, authorization needs, pagination behavior, or that it returns a list of rule sets. The description is too sparse.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence. It is front-loaded and wastes no words, but could include more useful information without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 7 parameters and no output schema, the description provides insufficient context. It doesn't explain the required parameter, the nature of the results, or how to interpret the output. The description is too brief given the tool's complexity.
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 coverage is 86%, and parameters have descriptions. The description adds no value beyond the schema; it does not explain parameter usage or constraints. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the schema does most of the work.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List rule sets within an enhanced content filtering profile' clearly states the action (list) and the resource (rule sets), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_list_enhanced_content_filtering_rules' which list individual rules. However, it could be more precise by explicitly mentioning the required 'profile_uuid' parameter.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., listing rules or profiles). It does not specify prerequisites or when not to use it, leaving the agent without context for correct invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'List rule groups', implying a read operation, but gives no details on pagination, sorting, filtering, or other behaviors. The input schema contains pagination and filtering parameters (from, size, sortby, filters), but the description does not explain their usage or the default behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at one sentence, with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the primary action. However, it could benefit from a bit more structure, such as mentioning required parameters or a brief usage context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior. It does not explain what rule groups are, the relationship to policies, or the structure of the response. The agent may need to infer pagination and filtering details from the schema alone, which is suboptimal.
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 86% (high), so the baseline is 3. The description does not add any extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides. It does not explain parameters like policy_uuid, scope, or the pagination options that could help the agent decide how to use them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (list) and resource (rule groups) and context (within a firewall policy scope). It distinguishes the tool from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rules_in_group (which lists rules within a group) and sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rules (lists all rules). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from other list tools or mention the required parameters.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are mentioned. For example, it doesn't suggest using sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rules_in_group when needing to list rules within a specific group.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions pagination, filtering, and sorting but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, requires special permissions, or returns detailed or summary information. The behavioral disclosure is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence that is directly front-loaded. It is efficient but could be more informative without increasing length. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and many sibling listing tools, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the return format, pagination limits, filter syntax, or how this list differs from other NAT policy list tools. The completeness is low for the tool's complexity.
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?
All five parameters are described in the schema (100% coverage). The description summarizes the parameters as 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting', but does not add new insights beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the description does not degrade or enhance parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (List) and resource (NAT policies) with additional behavior (optional pagination, filtering, sorting). However, it does not differentiate from sibling list tools like 'sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules' or 'sdcloud_list_nat_policy_hierarchy', which list related but distinct resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules' or 'sdcloud_get_nat_policy'. No prerequisites, exclusions, or context for selection are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It states 'read-only' and 'list', implying safe operation, but does not disclose authentication requirements, rate limits, data volume considerations, or whether any side effects exist. For a tool with 7 parameters, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is two sentences, concise, and front-loaded with the core action. No redundancy, but it could benefit from structured bullet points or clearer separation of purpose and usage.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 7 parameters, 4 required, and no output schema, the description does not explain return values, pagination, or how parameters relate to each other. It is too minimal to guide an agent in correctly constructing a valid request for this moderately complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 57% (moderate), but the description adds no parameter-level meaning. It does not explain how parameters like nat_type, traffic_match_type, or address_ids interact or are required. The description's lack of parameter guidance forces the agent to rely solely on the schema, which is partially incomplete.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it lists ARP entries for a NAT policy, specifies it's read-only, and gives context for proxy-ARP inspection. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool sdcloud_list_nat_policy_proxy_ndp_entries which lists NDP entries, potentially causing confusion between IPv4 and IPv6.
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?
Description provides usage context ('inspect proxy-ARP address resolution') but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance compared to similar tools. No exclusions or alternative tool mentions are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits like pagination, filtering, or required policy_id. It only states 'List rule groups within a NAT policy,' adding no behavioral context beyond the input schema, which already documents parameters.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the verb. It lacks additional structured details but earns points for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and only one sentence, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the tool returns, pagination behavior, or how to use filters. The schema provides param details, but overall context is lacking.
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 83%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., policy_id required, pagination params).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists rule groups within a NAT policy using specific verb (list) and resource (rule groups). It is unambiguous but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules or sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as listing rules or creating rule groups. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use, or context for invoking.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, pagination behavior, or required authentication. The minimal description fails to inform the agent about important aspects beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence with no fluff, but it is too terse and sacrifices necessary detail, so it is not optimally concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain return format, pagination, or usage scenarios, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 71%, but the required parameters policy_id and group_id lack descriptions in both schema and tool description. The tool description adds no parameter context, leaving gaps that the agent must infer.
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 the verb 'List' and the resource 'rules within a NAT policy rule group', which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_nat_policy_rules and list_nat_policy_rule_groups.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no context about expected inputs or outcomes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states it lists all PAC files and no pagination, but does not disclose read-only behavior, authentication needs, or any side effects. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single, front-loaded sentence with no waste. Could potentially add more context about the response or scope, but it remains efficient.
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?
For a simple list tool with no parameters or output schema, the description covers core functionality and a constraint (no pagination). However, it does not mention what the output contains or any default behavior like scope (e.g., tenant-wide). Adequate but not fully complete.
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?
There are no parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the empty schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists all PAC files with a specific verb and resource. While it distinguishes from 'sdcloud_get_pac_file' implicitly, it does not explicitly differentiate from other list tools among many siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Only mentions that pagination is not supported. No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, e.g., when to use 'sdcloud_list_pac_files' vs 'sdcloud_get_pac_file'. No exclusions or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not state that the tool is read-only, whether authentication is required, rate limits, or data scope (e.g., tenant-level).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence without extraneous words. However, it is too brief to convey all necessary context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of 4 optional parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description fails to explain what 'subscriptions' are, return format, or how filtering/sorting syntax works.
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 coverage is 100%, and each parameter has a description. The tool description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'subscriptions', and mentions optional capabilities (pagination, filtering, sorting). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_subscription_associations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_subscription_associations), nor are there any prerequisites or exclusions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only says 'List', implying a read operation. It does not disclose pagination behavior (defaults, limits) or any other traits like rate limits or permissions. Adds little beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One short sentence, no redundant words. It front-loads the action but could be slightly more structured to include output hints. Still, efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, and the description does not explain the return format (e.g., list of objects). For a listing tool with pagination, it should describe output behavior. Incomplete given the tool's complexity.
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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description mentions 'optional spec.size/spec.from pagination', which adds context about their purpose, but the schema already covers their individual meanings. Marginal value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'List' and resource 'tenant points-of-presence', making the tool's purpose obvious. The pagination detail adds specificity, but there is no explicit differentiation from sibling tools, though the resource is unique.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives or when to avoid it. The description simply states the function without contextual usage advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description bears full responsibility. It only mentions pagination but does not disclose read-only nature, potential performance impacts, or any 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (8 words) and front-loaded with the core action. It could be slightly longer to add clarity without becoming verbose.
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?
For a simple list tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It does not mention default pagination values or result format, but this is acceptable given the tool's simplicity.
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 coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for spec.from and spec.size. The description adds 'optional' but this is marginal beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists users and mentions optional pagination parameters. It distinguishes from sibling CRUD tools like sdcloud_get_user, but could be more specific about which user entity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_user or other list tools. The description implies usage for listing users but gives no exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must bear the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'selective subset' without explaining how the subset is determined, any side effects, or what happens to non-selected devices. There is no mention of required permissions, rate limits, or other behaviors.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it sacrifices detail for brevity, which may not be optimal for a tool with nested parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and a required nested object parameter, the description is too brief. It fails to explain the structure of the body parameter, the meaning of 'selective subset', or any return values. Users would need to consult external documentation to use this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only 'body' has a description, 'policy_id' has none). The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema; it does not explain what the 'body' should contain or how to specify the subset. The body's description is generic and does not provide tool-specific context.
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 the action (deploy), the resource (firewall policy), and the specific scope (selective subset of assigned devices). This distinguishes it from the sibling 'sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy' which likely deploys to all assigned devices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like the full deploy tool. No context is given about prerequisites, scenarios, or limitations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention whether the operation is idempotent, if it overrides existing preferences, or if it requires the device to be in a specific state (e.g., already activated). The description only states the action without 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 15 words, which is concise and front-loaded. While it could include more detail (e.g., prerequisites), it avoids verbose repetition of schema fields.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description should explain the outcome or return value. It does not mention what happens after setting preferences (e.g., confirmation, status). The tool has a nested object parameter (body) but no guidance on its structure. The description is incomplete for an operation with two parameters and a JSON body.
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 50%. The description for 'body' ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') adds context by indicating it follows an external schema, but it does not detail fields. The 'device_id' parameter lacks any description or clarification. Overall, the description provides partial compensation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Set up an RMA device with reactivation preferences for the replacement workflow' clearly identifies the tool's purpose: configuring reactivation preferences for an RMA device. The verb 'set up' is somewhat generic but acceptable, and the phrase 'reactivation preferences' distinguishes it from related tools like activate or reactivate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_activate_rma_device or sdcloud_reactivate_rma_device. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical scenarios, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage without support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it is a full replace or partial update, side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but under-specified. It sacrifices necessary detail for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and only two parameters, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what the response contains, what fields can be updated in the body, or any constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description only clarifies the 'uuid' parameter as identifier. The 'body' parameter is briefly described in schema as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which is vague and not clarified in description. With 50% schema coverage, description adds minimal value.
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 'Update an anti-virus profile object by UUID', specifying the action (update), resource (anti-virus profile), and identifier (UUID). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, get, delete, and list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., create, get, delete). No context on when to use update versus other operations or conditions under which it is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral traits. It only states 'Update', lacking details on partial vs full replacement, error behavior, idempotency, authorization needs, or 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and object. However, it is overly concise and could benefit from additional context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and minimal annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values, potential errors, or the structure of the request body, making it hard for an agent to use correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no value beyond the input schema. The body parameter's schema description is vague ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') and the uuid parameter has no description. No additional semantic or format guidance is provided.
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 the action ('Update'), the resource ('an application object'), and the identifier ('by UUID'). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling update tools targeting other resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites, context, or when it should not be used, despite many sibling tools for updating different objects.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'Update' which implies mutation. It does not disclose side effects, idempotency, required permissions, or what happens if the UUID does not exist. No annotations are provided to fill the gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks critical details. It is not overly verbose, but it is under-specified for a mutation tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and the presence of related CRUD tools, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how to construct the body, how to obtain the UUID, or what the response contains.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not explain the parameters beyond the schema. The body parameter is described in the schema as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which is vague. With 50% schema coverage, the description adds no additional context.
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 the verb 'Update', the resource 'content filtering profile object', and the identifier 'by UUID'. This effectively distinguishes it from sibling tools like create, get, delete, and list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create, get, delete). It does not mention prerequisites, such as the profile needing to exist first, or any context about when updating is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
As a mutation tool with no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits like idempotency, partial update behavior, or permission requirements. It only states 'Update', which is implicit from the name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence. However, it is too minimal; a bit more detail could be included without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, annotations, and the nested body parameter, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what fields the body should contain or how the update behaves (e.g., full replacement vs. partial update).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body has a vague description, uuid has none). The description does not add meaning beyond the schema, and the body description ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema') is too generic to be helpful.
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 the verb ('Update'), the resource ('enhanced content filtering profile'), and the identifier ('by UUID'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like create, get, delete, and list operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus other CRUD operations (e.g., create or delete). There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or conditions for its use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits but only says 'Update a rule inside a firewall policy rule group.' It does not mention if the update is partial or full replacement, required permissions, error behaviors, or whether the call is destructive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence that front-loads the action. It is concise with no wasted words, though it could benefit from additional structure or examples given the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 5 required parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the relationship between policy, group, and rule, nor does it describe the expected body format or return value. Sibling tools with similar complexity have more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is only 40% (2/5 parameters described). The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. For example, 'body' is described vaguely as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' Without compensating for low coverage, the agent lacks clarity on what data to provide.
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 the action (update) and resource (rule inside a firewall policy rule group), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_update_firewall_policy' and 'sdcloud_create_firewall_policy_rule_in_group'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'sdcloud_update_firewall_policy_rule', or what prerequisites are needed (e.g., existence of policy, group). No exclusions or context are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description does not disclose side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or error handling. For a mutation tool, it fails to convey whether the update is partial or full replacement, or validation rules.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, but it is too minimal. It conveys basic purpose but omits critical details, sacrificing informativeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (mutation, no output schema, nested object, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error states, or update behavior, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50%. The description adds no new meaning beyond the schema: it repeats 'by UUID' and 'JSON request body matching...' but does not explain the structure of the body or usage constraints.
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 the action (update), resource (flow-based antivirus profile), and identifier (by UUID). It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like create, get, and delete variants.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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. The description implies use for updating existing profiles but lacks information on prerequisites, when not to use, or links to related creation/deletion tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It only states it is an update operation, but does not mention idempotency, side effects, authorization needs, or error conditions. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence of 9 words, with no redundancy. However, it could include more context without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool is a mutation with two parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It lacks details on return values, error responses, prerequisites, or partial updates. The neighboring siblings (e.g., create, get) likely have richer descriptions, making this one feel incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body has a description, uuid does not). The description does not add meaningful information about parameters. 'Matching the target Security Director Cloud schema' is vague and does not specify updatable fields or constraints.
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 explicitly states the action 'Update' and the resource 'ICAP profile object' and the identifier method 'by UUID'. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create, delete, list, and get.

Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool, prerequisites, or alternatives. The description does not mention when to prefer update over create or other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as required permissions, idempotency, error handling (e.g., if profile doesn't exist), or side effects. 'Update' implies modification but nothing more.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one short sentence, which is concise but lacks structure to convey necessary details. It is not verbose, but the brevity sacrifices completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given two parameters (one a complex nested object), no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain the body structure, return value, or how to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only 'body' has a description). The tool description adds no parameter details beyond the schema. 'profile_name' remains undocumented after reading the description.
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 the action ('Update') and the resource ('IPsec profile') and specifies the identifier ('by name'). This clearly distinguishes it from create, delete, get, and list siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create vs update, or which IPsec operations are appropriate). No prerequisites or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must compensate. It only states 'Update...by UUID' without disclosing whether the update is partial or full replacement, input validation, atomicity, or conflict handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description only states 'update' without disclosing mutation behavior, idempotency, required state (e.g., object existence), side effects, or response format. Behavioral expectations are entirely implicit.
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 with no wasted words. Front-loaded with verb and resource. Concise enough for quick scanning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given complexity (nested body parameter, sibling tools for config), description lacks details on partial vs full updates, allowed fields in body, and whether update triggers deployment. Output schema absent, but description could still explain return value. Overall insufficient for a nuanced update operation.
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?
Input schema has 2 parameters with 50% coverage (body has a generic description referencing the target schema, uuid lacks description). The tool description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond what schema provides. Schema coverage alone gives baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Update a proxy server object by UUID' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling CRUD operations (create, get, list, delete). However, it does not elaborate on what aspects can be updated, which would add clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_set_proxy_server_config. No mention of prerequisites or contexts where update is appropriate.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries full behavioral disclosure burden. It indicates a mutation ('Update') but fails to describe side effects, authorization requirements, or whether the operation is idempotent. No details on the impact of the 'body' parameter.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence). While it front-loads the purpose, it omits important details, making it under-informative. It could be longer to cover semantics and usage.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and a freeform body parameter, the description is insufficient. It does not specify whether the update is partial or full, what the response contains, or any constraints on the body.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (user_id lacks description in schema, body has a generic description). The tool description adds no meaning beyond the schema; 'by user_id' is redundant. It does not clarify the format or constraints for the body object.
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 the verb 'Update' and the resource 'a user', with the identifier 'by user_id'. It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like create_user, get_user, delete_user, and list_users.

Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as whether the user must exist, or what fields are updatable. No comparison to create_user or change_password is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only mentions 'multipart upload' and base64 encoding, but omits critical details like whether the upload overwrites, validation steps, expected CSV format, size limits, or error responses.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is efficient but lacks structured information (e.g., no prerequisites, format guidelines). It sacrifices completeness for brevity, resulting in under-specification.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that this is a file upload tool with no output schema and 3 parameters, the description fails to explain the multipart upload process, expected CSV structure, success/failure signals, or relationship to template mappings. Significant gaps remain for reliable agent 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?
The description reinforces the file_content base64 requirement, matching the schema description. However, it does not add new meaning for template_id or file_name, and the multipart upload hint is not reflected in the schema parameters. Schema coverage is 67%, so the baseline 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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Upload' and the resource 'CSV file of device parameter mappings for a template', distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_download_template_csv or sdcloud_upload_template_workflow_definition.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Create' implying mutation, but does not mention idempotency, permissions required, error scenarios (e.g., duplicate address), or side effects. The description lacks essential behavioral context for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: one sentence plus a list of typical fields. It is front-loaded with the action and resource. Every part adds value, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separating required vs optional fields).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (nested body object, many sibling tools, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain the return value (no output schema), error handling, or how the address object relates to other entities. The typical fields list is helpful but not sufficient for a complete understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema only describes 'body' as a generic JSON object. The description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, address_type, ip_address, host_name), which helps the agent construct the request. Schema coverage is 100% but schema is vague, so the description compensates well.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (Create) and resource (address object), and lists typical fields like name, description, address_type. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_address and sdcloud_delete_address, but doesn't specify what an address object is used for, which limits differentiation from other create tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_create_service). No context on prerequisites, limitations, or whether it should be used before referencing addresses in policies. Implied usage is only from the verb and resource name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond creation; no annotations are present to provide context about side effects, permissions, or idempotency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and to the point, but could be improved by listing fields in a clearer structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the open schema and no output schema, the description is insufficient; it does not specify required fields, format expectations, or what the function returns upon success.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema for the 'body' parameter is vague (additionalProperties true), but the description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, authentication, web_options), compensating for the schema's lack of detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'rule option object', and lists typical body fields, distinguishing it from other create tools for different resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as other rule option tools (list, get, update, delete) or other create tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and identifier, missing details on reversibility, side effects, error conditions, or idempotency. This is insufficient for a delete operation.
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, efficient sentence with no unnecessary words or repetition. It is front-loaded with the action and resource.
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?
For a simple delete operation with one parameter, the description is minimally adequate. However, given the absence of annotations and output schema, additional context (e.g., confirmation, cascading effects) would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not add any meaning beyond the parameter name. It does not specify format, source, or constraints for the UUID, failing to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.
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 the action ('Delete'), the resource ('AAMW profile object'), and the identifier ('by UUID'). It distinguishes this tool from sibling delete tools for other resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or when not to use it. The agent is left without context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get... object' but does not mention potential error conditions, authentication requirements, or whether the operation is read-only. The agent has no insight into what happens if the UUID is invalid.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but lacks depth. It is front-loaded but sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. Some behavioral or usage context would improve it without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple get operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimal. It does not explain the return value structure or how to obtain the UUID. Given the large number of sibling tools and potential confusion with enhanced content filtering, the description is inadequate.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds 'by UUID' indicating the parameter is the identifier, but does not provide format or constraints beyond what the schema states (type string). Baseline 3 is appropriate given the single parameter.
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 'Get' and identifies the resource as 'content filtering profile object' with the unique identifier 'by UUID'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list, create, update, or delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list or get for enhanced content filtering profiles. It does not mention prerequisites like having a valid UUID or contrast with other retrieval methods.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get an IPsec profile by name' without mentioning whether the profile must exist, error handling (e.g., 404 if not found), or that it is read-only. The agent is left guessing about side effects or existence requirements.
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, no superfluous words. Information is front-loaded and directly addresses the tool's purpose.
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?
For a simple getter with no output schema, the description might be minimally adequate, but it lacks mention of return type, format, or common error cases. The agent cannot fully anticipate the tool's output or behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, requiring the description to add meaning to profile_name. The description adds nothing beyond the parameter name itself. No format, constraints, or examples are provided. The agent has no guidance on what constitutes a valid profile name.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'IPsec profile', with identifier method 'by name'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_ipsec_profiles (for listing all) and create/update/delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention that list_ipsec_profiles is for retrieving multiple profiles, or that this returns a single profile. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description only says 'Get', implying a read operation, but does not disclose potential errors (e.g., not found), idempotency, or any side effects. For a simple get, this is minimal but acceptable.
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, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is perfectly concise for a straightforward get-by-ID operation.
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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete: it lacks parameter details, usage context, and return value description. It meets minimum viability.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not explain the 'uuid' parameter beyond its name, failing to add meaning to the input schema. The agent must guess the format or constraints.
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 the action (Get) and the resource (SecIntel profile group object by UUID). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_secintel_profile (gets a profile) and sdcloud_list_secintel_profiles_groups (lists groups).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list vs. get, or profile vs. group). The agent is left to infer usage from the tool name and description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. 'Get' implies a read-only operation, which is standard, but no details are given about idempotency, error conditions, or dependencies. While it is likely non-destructive, the lack of explicit safety context lowers the score.
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 sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the key action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, 2 parameters without descriptions, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what a device mapping is, what the return value looks like, or any prerequisites (e.g., existence of template and device).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the two required parameters ('device_id', 'template_id'). No hint about expected format, source, or relationship to other resources.
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 ('Get') and specific resource ('a single device mapping for a template'). It clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like 'list', 'delete', 'update', and 'batch save' by indicating it retrieves one specific mapping.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools like 'sdcloud_list_template_mappings' or 'sdcloud_update_template_mapping' exist, but no context is given for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic listing function, failing to mention pagination, filtering, sorting, or any constraints, leaving significant gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence but omits critical behavioral and parameter details. It is concise but under-informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema and moderate complexity; the description lacks context on pagination, filtering, sorting, and the meaning of 'ungrouped rules'. Falls short on 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 coverage is 83%, so the schema already describes most parameters. The description adds no additional parameter meaning or usage context, not even mentioning the required policy_id. Baseline 3.
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 ('List') and resource ('ungrouped rules directly under a NAT policy'), clearly indicating the function and distinguishing it from related tools like sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules_in_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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. The description only states what it does, not the context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention side effects, idempotency, required permissions, or what happens if the application already exists. It only states the creation action and typical fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences. First states purpose, second provides typical body fields. No redundancy, efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, but description does not mention return value (e.g., created object or ID). It also neglects error conditions, nested object structure hints, or any context about the Security Director Cloud environment. Incomplete for a creation tool.
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?
The single parameter 'body' is vaguely described in schema as a JSON object matching a schema. The description adds typical fields (name, description, category, risk, application_mapping), providing some meaning beyond the schema, but lacks specifics on required fields or format constraints.
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 the action ('Create') and the resource ('application object'), and lists typical body fields. It differentiates from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_update_application' by implying this is for new objects.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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., sdcloud_update_application). No mention of prerequisites or scenarios where creation is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether creation is synchronous, potential side effects, required permissions, or error states. The phrase 'typically includes' is vague and does not guarantee behavior.
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 two sentences, directly stating the action and typical input. No unnecessary words; every sentence is valuable.
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?
Given the tool has only one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but not rich. It explains the bulk nature and the input format, but misses details on the device definition structure, error responses, or integration with other workflow steps (e.g., deployment).
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for the single 'body' parameter, but the description is generic ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'). The tool description adds that the body includes 'a list of device definitions,' which provides some additional context. However, this is minimal.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates or onboards devices in bulk, which distinguishes it from read-only device tools (e.g., sdcloud_list_devices). However, it could be more specific about the scope (e.g., 'onboard' implies provisioning, but the exact lifecycle step isn't clarified).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_create_site or other creation tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it differs from other device management tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description indicates a write operation ('Create'), but without annotations, it omits behavioral traits like idempotency, required permissions, side effects on other profiles, or rate limits. Minimal transparency beyond the action itself.
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?
A single sentence of 8 words that is front-loaded and to the point. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite a complex input (nested object) and no output schema, the description provides no details on return values, body structure, or examples. The tool is underspecified for an agent to use correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'body' is described generically as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' While schema coverage is 100%, the description adds no meaning about required fields, structure, or constraints, failing to compensate for the generic schema.
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 'Create a new enhanced content filtering profile object.' The verb 'Create' and resource 'enhanced content filtering profile' are specific, and the tool is distinct from sibling tools like update and delete for the same resource.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as prerequisites (e.g., existing rule sets) or when not to use it. The description implies creation but lacks context for selection among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must carry the full burden. It only says 'Create a rule' without disclosing side effects, required permissions, whether the change requires deployment, or what happens on success. Minimal disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource. No redundancy. Could be slightly more structured but efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Missing details on return values, error handling, relationship to deployment, and how the rule interacts with the policy group. Given no output schema and only 50% schema coverage, the description is incomplete for a creation tool.
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 coverage is 50% with two parameters (group_uuid, policy_uuid) undescribed. The description adds value by listing typical body fields (name, description, action, sources, destinations, applications) beyond the schema's vague 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' However, it does not fully compensate for the missing parameter descriptions.
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 'Create a rule inside a firewall policy rule group' and lists typical body fields. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_firewall_policy_rule (creates a rule not in a group) and sdcloud_create_firewall_policy_rule_group (creates the group).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 such as sdcloud_create_firewall_policy_rule (which creates a rule without a group context). No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only states creation but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as required permissions, side effects, idempotency, or error conditions. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence. While it could include more context, it is not verbose and front-loads the key action. However, it is slightly too sparse for optimal utility.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a create tool with a complex body parameter and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain the purpose of a redirect profile, any constraints, or return value. Given the large set of sibling tools, an agent may struggle to select or use this tool correctly.
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?
The single parameter 'body' is described in the schema as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' With 100% schema coverage, the description adds no extra semantic value beyond what the schema provides. The baseline of 3 applies.
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 'Create a new redirect profile object' clearly states the verb (Create) and resource (redirect profile). It distinguishes from sibling tools like update and delete, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool or when alternatives (e.g., update, get) are appropriate. Sibling tools exist but no contextual hints are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'create' implying mutation, but no details on side effects, required permissions, idempotency, error conditions, or what the API does with duplicate names. Minimal transparency beyond the action itself.
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?
Two sentences: first states purpose, second enumerates typical body fields. No fluff, front-loaded, every word earns its place. Ideal conciseness for quick agent parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Lacks important context: no return value description (output schema absent), no mention of required permissions, no validation rules for body fields, no indication of idempotency or conflict handling. For a CRUD create tool, more completeness is expected, especially given the absence of annotations and output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter (body), described generically as 'JSON request body matching...'. Description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, start-date1, stop-date1, schedules), giving the agent concrete guidance on what to include, elevating it above the schema's vague description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool creates a new scheduler object and lists typical fields (name, description, dates, schedules), distinguishing it from sibling tools that list, get, update, or delete schedulers. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from similar 'create' siblings like sdcloud_create_anti_spam_profile, but the resource name 'scheduler' is distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., update_scheduler for modifications, list_schedulers for retrieval). No prerequisites, after-effects, or when-not-to-use information. The description assumes the agent already knows the use case.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only hints at typical body fields but does not disclose side effects (e.g., auto-generated ID, state changes), error conditions, or authorization needs.
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?
Two concise sentences front-load the purpose and immediately provide actionable parameter details. No redundant or filler content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a creation tool with a generic body parameter, no output schema, and zero annotations, the description is too sparse. It lacks explanation of required vs optional fields, expected return values, validation rules, and any post-creation behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema describes the body parameter generically as matching a target schema. The description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, service_type, protocols), which helps the agent construct the body more effectively than the schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a new service object (verb+resource). However, it does not differentiate this tool from many sibling create tools (e.g., sdcloud_create_address, sdcloud_create_device), leaving ambiguity about which type of service is being created.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites, required permissions, or when not to use it.

Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Lacks disclosure of post-creation behavior (e.g., automatic deployment, prevalidation needed, state changes) beyond the implied write operation; no annotations provided.
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?
One sentence with no wasted words; highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of sibling tools for prevalidation and deployment, the description omits important workflow context, making it incomplete for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not clarify the 'body' parameter beyond what the schema already states ('JSON request body...'); it adds no additional meaning about required fields or structure.
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 'Create a new site.' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like get, delete, update, list, deploy, etc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., prevalidate_site, bulk_create_sites) or prerequisites; the description is too terse.

The description clearly states the action ('Get'), the resource ('anti-virus profile object'), and the method ('by UUID'). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like create, update, delete, and list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools like sdcloud_list_anti_virus_profiles exist for listing, but no explicit context or exclusions are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, pagination behavior, authorization requirements, or result format. It only says 'list' with no additional context.
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 concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with no superfluous words. It is appropriately front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, pagination behavior, filter syntax, or any other details that would help an agent effectively use the tool. The moderate complexity (4 parameters, pagination) is not addressed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 75% description coverage, but the description adds no meaning beyond what the schema already provides. The required parameter 'device_uuid' lacks a description in the schema, and the description does not clarify it. For the pagination and filter parameters, the description offers no guidance on usage.
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 the tool lists a device's configured security zones. The verb 'List' and resource 'device's configured security zones' are specific and distinct from sibling tools that list other device configuration entities like interfaces or IDP sensors.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., device existence), use cases, or limitations. The description simply states the action without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get', implying read-only, but does not mention idempotency, side effects, or authorization needs. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

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?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description explains what it does but lacks context about what an external probe is or what the configuration includes. Adequate but could be more informative for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100% (empty schema). The description adds no param info, but none is needed. Baseline for 0-param tools is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'external probe configuration', clearly stating the tool's function. It implicitly distinguishes from sibling tools like create and delete external probe, but does not explicitly differentiate from other get tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description provides no context about prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it fits among many sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It only states 'Get' (read operation) but omits details like authentication, error handling, or side effects. Minimal transparency.
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?
A single, clear sentence with no unnecessary information. The description is appropriately short for a simple get operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and simple input, the description is incomplete: it does not explain return value, common errors, or the nature of an IPS service.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It mentions 'by UUID' but does not clarify the format, source, or meaning of uuid beyond the schema's type string.

Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not specify prerequisites, when not to use it, or mention related tools like list_nat_pools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries the full burden. It only states 'get the status' without disclosing whether it is read-only, what kind of status details are returned, or any potential delays or availability.
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 sentence of 14 words, directly stating the purpose and required parameter with no superfluous information.
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?
For a simple status retrieval tool, the description covers the basic objective. However, it lacks details about the returned status format (e.g., JSON fields, possible values) and does not situate itself among many similar sibling status tools.
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?
The single parameter 'deploy_id' is mentioned as the lookup key. While schema description coverage is 0%, the description adds minimal context beyond the parameter name. The intent is clear but not enriched.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb (get), resource (status of bulk policy deploy job), and key parameter (deploy_id). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_policy_deploy_job_device_status, which offers a different granularity of status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_get_policy_deploy_job_device_status. No mention of prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description implies read-only operation ('Get'), but does not explicitly state non-destructive behavior. With no annotations, basic transparency is provided but lacks detail on idempotency or error conditions.
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 with no unnecessary words. Efficient and to the point.
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?
Given tool simplicity (1 param, no output schema, no annotations), description is adequate but could mention return value characteristics (e.g., 'Returns the full redirect profile object').
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description references UUID but does not specify format or source. Schema coverage is 0%, so the description fails to add meaningful context for the single parameter beyond its role as identifier.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states verb 'Get', resource 'redirect profile object', and identifier 'UUID'. Clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like list, create, update, delete. However, lacks definition of what a redirect profile is.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get the status' implying a read operation, but provides no details on authentication, response format, error handling, or what happens if the job doesn't exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple status-check tool, though slightly more detail could be added.
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?
Given the simple interface (one param, no output schema), the description is partially complete. However, it misses the connection to other RMA workflow steps and does not hint at the expected output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'reactivation_id' has no description. With 0% schema coverage, the description should explain how to obtain it (e.g., from sdcloud_reactivate_rma_device), but it does not.

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 provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Usage is implied by the standard CRUD pattern, but there is no mention of scenarios or exclusion of other tools like sdcloud_list_variable_zones for bulk retrieval.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided. Description mentions 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' but does not explain behavior such as how pagination works (e.g., size=0 returns max results), sortby syntax, or filter format. The count parameter behavior is only in schema. Description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no redundant information. However, it could be slightly expanded to note output structure or count parameter effect without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description should provide more context about the return value (e.g., list of profile objects with details). It does not mention that count=true returns only a count, which is a significant behavior. For a list tool with 5 parameters, the description is too sparse.
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%, so the schema already documents all 5 parameters with descriptions. The description only summarizes with 'with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting', which does not add significant new meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'List content security profile objects' with a specific verb and resource. It mentions optional pagination, filtering, sorting, which distinguishes it from get, create, update, delete siblings, but does not explicitly contrast with other list tools for different profile types.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description omits what the response includes. It is adequate for a simple list tool but could specify return format or fields.
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 coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter meaning. It only mentions 'optional filtering and pagination' without extra detail, matching the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and resource ('per-device firewall global settings'). It distinguishes from the sibling 'get_firewall_device_global_settings' by using 'list' vs 'get', but does not explicitly contrast them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like the single-device get tool or other list tools. No when/when-not advice is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic operation with optional parameters, but does not mention return format, ordering limitations, side effects, or other behavioral context. The description is too minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one sentence) and front-loaded. It efficiently communicates the core action. While it could be slightly expanded for clarity, it has no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the number of sibling tools and no output schema, the description lacks completeness. It does not explain what is returned or how this tool fits into the broader context of firewall policy management. The minimal description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand scope.
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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents each parameter. The description adds a high-level summary ('pagination, filtering, sorting') but does not provide any new meaning beyond what the schema offers. 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 'List firewall policies' with specific verb and resource, and mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_assignments and sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_hierarchy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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. For example, it does not mention that this lists policies themselves, while other list tools cover assignments or hierarchy. Lacks when-not and alternative references.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits like read-only nature, required permissions, or return format. It only mentions listing hierarchy but omits pagination behavior (though schema includes from/size/count) and whether results are nested. The description adds little beyond the tool name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The single sentence is front-loaded with verb and resource, making it easy to scan. However, it could be structured with brief bullet points or a second sentence to highlight key features like pagination support.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 7 parameters and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It should explain pagination (from, size, count), sorting, filtering, and what 'hierarchy' means (e.g., nested vs flat). The current description leaves the agent guessing about return structure and usage details.
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 86%, so most parameters are already documented in the schema. The description adds minimal value—merely restating scope from the enum. It does not clarify how filters or sortby work or the meaning of policy_uuid in context of hierarchy.
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 precisely states the tool lists a firewall policy's rule hierarchy with a given scope (global or zone). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_firewall_policies (lists policies) and sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rules (flat list of rules).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rules or sdcloud_get_firewall_policy. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use, or which scenarios benefit from the hierarchy view.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions optional pagination and filtering but does not disclose default page size, maximum results, response format, or potential performance implications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no fluff. However, it lacks a structured breakdown or front-loading of key actions. Still concise and clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema; description does not explain response format, default pagination behavior, or how to construct filter expressions. For a 5-parameter list tool, the description is incomplete for effective use.
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 coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions for each parameter. The description summarizes 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' but adds no new meaning beyond the schema.
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 'List SecIntel profile objects' with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. It differentiates from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_get_secintel_profile' (single) and 'sdcloud_list_secintel_profiles_groups' (groups).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get for a single profile, list_groups for groups). No mention of when to apply pagination or filtering parameters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It mentions pagination but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, what happens without parameters, or any side effects. The description is insufficient given the lack of annotations.
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 extremely concise and front-loaded. Every word serves a purpose with no redundancy.
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?
For a simple list operation with two parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate but leaves ambiguity about default behavior (e.g., returns all tunnels if no pagination). It could be more complete by clarifying the default response.
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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds marginal value by linking them to pagination, but does not provide additional context beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists tunnels and supports pagination with spec.size/spec.from. It is specific about the action and resource. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this from the sibling tool sdcloud_get_tunnel, though the pagination hint provides some differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like sdcloud_get_tunnel. There is no mention of prerequisites, scope, or typical use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions optional pagination, filtering, sorting, but does not state if the operation is read-only, has side effects, or any other behavioral details. Minimal disclosure.
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 sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with the core action, and contains no fluff or repetition.
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?
The description is adequate for a simple list operation but incomplete given the absence of output schema and the need to differentiate from many similar sibling list tools. It does not mention what the response contains (e.g., list of profiles) or any details about sorting/filtering syntax beyond schema.
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% (all parameters have descriptions). The description adds the phrase 'with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting', which reiterates schema content without adding significant new meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'web filtering profile objects', and mentions optional features like pagination, filtering, and sorting. However, it lacks differentiation from many sibling list tools (e.g., sdcloud_list_firewall_policies).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. No when/when-not conditions, exclusions, or references to other tools provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must bear the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It merely says 'Update' but does not describe side effects (e.g., overwrites entire singleton, requires specific permissions, idempotency, response format). For a mutation operation, this is insufficient to guide an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence (8 words) with no fluff, which makes it concise. However, it is overly terse and could be structured to include more useful context. Every word earns its place, but the lack of detail prevents a higher score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the one-parameter schema (complex body) and no output schema, the description should clarify what the body should contain (e.g., fields of the global profile) or that this call replaces the entire singleton. It only says 'update' without elaboration, leaving significant gaps for a mutation tool.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage (the body parameter is described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'). However, the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's own description. Baseline is 3, and the description does not elevate it.
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 explicitly states 'Update the tenant-wide firewall global profile singleton,' providing a specific verb (update), resource (firewall global profile), and scope (tenant-wide, singleton). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_firewall_global_profiles or sdcloud_set_firewall_global_settings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lacks any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites, when not to use, or comparison with related tools like sdcloud_get_firewall_global_profiles (for reading) or sdcloud_update_firewall_policy (for per-policy updates). This omission leaves the agent without contextual direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'Update', which implies mutation, but provides no details on what is updated, whether it's a full replace or partial update, if it's reversible, or any required permissions. With no annotations, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single clear sentence, which is concise. However, it could benefit from slightly more structure, such as mentioning the required parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and the need for guidance on the body format, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the return value or the expected body structure beyond what the schema already states.
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 50% (body parameter has a description, uuid does not). The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate since coverage is not low, but no additional value is provided.
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 the verb 'Update', the resource 'device group', and the identifier 'by UUID'. This distinguishes it from related tools like sdcloud_create_device_group and sdcloud_delete_device_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or conditions. The description simply states the action without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states 'update' without detailing behavioral traits such as idempotency, side effects, authorization needs, or response format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, but it is overly brief and lacks key details that would justify space saved.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (4 required params, nested body, no outpput schema or annotations), the description fails to explain the body format, required fields, or post-update behavior, leaving significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (scope and body have descriptions; policy_uuid and rule_uuid do not). The tool description adds no parameter-level information to compensate for the gap.
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 the verb 'update' and the specific resource 'ungrouped firewall policy rule', and distinguishes it from grouped rule updates via sibling tools like sdcloud_update_firewall_policy_rule_in_group.
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 implies usage for ungrouped rules but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it mention alternatives like the grouped update tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Update' without indicating idempotency, partial vs full update, permission requirements, or error handling. This leaves the agent underinformed.
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, focused sentence with no redundancy. It efficiently conveys the core action and identifier.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has no output schema, no annotations, and only partial parameter descriptions. The description fails to cover return values, required scope, or typical usage patterns, making it insufficient for an agent to use confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only 'body' has a description). The description adds no semantics beyond 'by UUID' for the uuid parameter and offers no detail on the body structure. The agent gains no extra insight from the description.
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 the verb 'Update' and the resource 'web filtering profile object', and specifies the method 'by UUID'. It effectively distinguishes from similar update tools for other profile types among siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description should disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, partial failure handling, or effect on existing assignments, but it only mentions the action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words, but it lacks additional details that could be included without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of batch operations and no output schema, the description fails to clarify the operation's results, such as success response or failure modes.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (only body described), and the description adds no extra meaning for 'policy_id' or details on structuring the 'body' beyond a generic schema reference.

Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of a single sentence with no extraneous words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite many sibling tools and a complex nested parameter, the description provides no context about the IPS signature resource, required fields, or what the tool returns. No output schema compounds the lack of 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?
The single parameter 'body' is described in the schema as a JSON request body matching a target schema. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3.

Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (one sentence) and front-loads the purpose. However, it lacks structure and could mention constraints like required body content or additional properties not allowed. It is concise but under-specified.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (many siblings, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error handling, or post-creation steps. For a create operation, more context on what the call returns or triggers is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'body' has a generic schema description. The tool description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, all_site_policy, order), providing semantics beyond the schema. With 100% schema coverage, this additional context elevates the score above baseline 3.
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 the action ('Create') and the resource ('a new NAT policy'), and mentions typical body fields. Among siblings like sdcloud_get_nat_policy and sdcloud_update_nat_policy, it distinguishes itself as a creation tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule). No prerequisites, exclusions, or context for when not to use it are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the creation action, but does not mention idempotency, error conditions, required permissions, or any side effects. The lack of behavioral context is a significant gap.
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 sentence that is directly relevant and front-loaded with the key action. No unnecessary words or details are present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (nested object body, no output schema, and a generic schema description), the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain what a SecIntel profile group is, expected fields, or what the response contains, making it insufficient for reliable agent use.
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?
The input schema has a single required parameter 'body' with a generic description. Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds no additional meaning for the parameter, and the schema description is vague ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema').
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 'Create a new SecIntel profile group object.' The verb 'Create' and the resource 'SecIntel profile group' are specific, and the tool is clearly distinguished from sibling tools like get, update, delete, list for the same resource, as well as create for individual profiles.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as updating or listing profile groups. There is no mention of prerequisites, expected context, or conditions for creation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must carry the full burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing behavioral traits such as error handling, idempotency, permissions required, rate limits, or side effects. The agent lacks critical context.
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 sentence that immediately conveys the core purpose. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, with no extraneous words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (2 parameters, one a nested object) and absence of annotations or output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not specify the response format, the expected body schema, or any contextual hints about successful creation or error cases.
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 coverage is 50% (the 'body' parameter has a schema description, but 'subscription_uuid' does not). The tool description adds minimal value by stating 'e.g. site or device' for the target resource, but does not explain the structure of the body or the role of subscription_uuid. It is adequate but not helpful.
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 the action ('Associate') and the objects involved ('subscription' and 'target resource'), with an example (site or device). It distinguishes this create operation from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_subscription_associations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or conditions. The description does not mention when not to use it or any context that would help the agent decide between this and other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It indicates a destructive operation ('Delete') but lacks details on consequences, authentication needs, or error handling.
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?
Two concise sentences with no redundancy or superfluous information. Front-loaded with the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested body object, no output schema, no annotations), the description is too minimal. It fails to specify the body structure, return values, or success criteria, leaving the agent under-informed.
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 coverage is 50% (body has description, device_uuid has none). The description adds context for the body parameter ('typically includes the certificate id/type'), partially compensating. Device_uuid remains unexplained.
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 the action ('Delete a certificate from a device') and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools that handle other certificate operations (e.g., install, list). The mention of 'certificate id/type' adds specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_list_device_certificates or sdcloud_install_device_ca_certificate. No prerequisites or exclusions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It doesn't disclose that deletion is irreversible or any side effects on deployments. Minimal behavioral info beyond the action.
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, no fluff. Front-loaded with action.
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?
For a simple delete operation, the description is adequate but lacks contextual details like irreversibility and prerequisites. Could be more complete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and description only says 'by UUID' without specifying UUID format or source. Parameter 'uuid' has no description in schema, and description adds no extra meaning.
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?
Description clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'device software image definition' and the identifier method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from sibling create/list/deploy tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites mentioned. A delete tool should at least hint that the image definition must exist and deletion is irreversible.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'delete' with no mention of permissions, irreversibility, prerequisites, or post-deletion actions (e.g., deploying policy). Lacks essential behavioral context for a destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the action. However, it omits important details that could be included without significant bloat.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and the complexity of the sibling tools (many policy-related operations), the description does not mention deletion consequences, deployment needs, or verification steps. Incomplete for a real-world usage scenario.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 33% (scope has description, rule_uuid and policy_uuid do not). The description adds no parameter explanation beyond what the schema provides, failing to compensate for the low coverage.
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 explicitly states 'Delete an ungrouped firewall policy rule,' using a specific verb (delete) and resource (ungrouped rule). It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule_in_group by specifying 'ungrouped.'
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 implies usage for ungrouped rules but does not explicitly state when to avoid this tool (e.g., for grouped rules, use sdcloud_delete_firewall_policy_rule_in_group). No exclusion or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It explains the conditional behavior of ungroup_rules but does not disclose whether the operation is destructive, reversible, or any side effects. The description lacks transparency on what happens to rules when ungroup_rules is false.
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 extremely concise with two sentences: one for the primary action and one for a key parameter behavior. No irrelevant information, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (4 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is too brief. It omits return values, error conditions, and the expected state after deletion. The meaning of policy_uuid and group_uuid is left to inference from the name.
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?
The description adds meaning to the ungroup_rules parameter by explaining its effect. However, the required parameters policy_uuid and group_uuid have no explanation in the schema or description, despite schema coverage being low (25%). The description partially compensates but not fully.
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 the action (delete) and the resource (rule group) within a specific context (firewall policy scope). It distinguishes it from the sibling delete_firewall_policy_rule by focusing on groups. The additional detail about ungroup_rules further clarifies the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., delete_firewall_policy_rule for individual rules). It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., existence of the group or policy) or when to set ungroup_rules to true vs false.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only indicates the destructive nature via 'delete' but fails to disclose whether the operation is irreversible, cascading, or requires confirmation. Return value or error conditions are not mentioned.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It front-loads the action, but its brevity comes at the cost of missing helpful information. Still, it earns its place.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one required parameter, no output schema), the description covers the core purpose and parameter. However, it lacks behavioral details like side effects, prerequisites, or return values, which would be expected for a delete operation with no annotations.
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?
The description adds minimal meaning by specifying 'by UUID', implying that the uuid parameter is the identifier. However, with 0% schema description coverage, it does not explain UUID format or source, which is only a slight improvement over the bare schema.
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 the verb 'delete', the resource 'IPS signature object', and the identifier 'UUID', making the tool's purpose unambiguous and distinguishing it from sibling tools like create, get, update, and list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as prerequisites (e.g., the object must exist) or context (e.g., obtaining the UUID via list/get). The description is silent on when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must inform about behavioral traits. It implies a destructive action but fails to disclose whether deletion is permanent or reversible, any cascading effects, or required permissions. The minimal description leaves significant transparency gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, succinct and front-loaded. It wastes no words but could include more detail without being verbose. It is appropriately sized for a simple delete operation.
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?
The description covers the basic purpose and the key parameter. However, given the tool's complexity and the lack of annotations, it omits important context such as error handling, idempotency, and behavior when the object does not exist. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
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?
The schema has one parameter 'uuid' with 0% description coverage. The description adds the phrase 'by UUID', clarifying that the parameter identifies the object. This adds minimal value but does not fully compensate for the lack of schema parameter descriptions.
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 the action 'Delete', the resource 'SSL initiation object', and the identifier mechanism 'by UUID'. It unequivocally distinguishes this tool from its siblings like 'sdcloud_create_ssl_initiation' and 'sdcloud_update_ssl_initiation'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites like object existence or consequences of deletion. It simply states the operation without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Get,' implying a read operation, but does not confirm idempotence, safety, or side effects. No explicit statement that this is non-destructive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately short, though it could include more context without becoming verbose.
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?
Given no output schema, the description should clarify what the tool returns. It only mentions the resource name but does not describe the response format or contents. Adequate but incomplete for a get tool.
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?
There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info, but it also does not explain the singleton nature. Baseline of 3 as per rules for high schema coverage with no parameter info.
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 the action ('Get') and the resource ('tenant-wide firewall global profile singleton'). It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_set_firewall_global_profiles by noting it's a singleton and tenant-wide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that it is read-only, that it should be used before modification, or any prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description only says 'Get by UUID' and does not disclose behavioral traits such as side effects, permissions, rate limits, or return format. For a tool with no annotations, the description should provide more transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no redundant words. However, it could be slightly more structured with additional context like typical use case or return type.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of annotations, output schema, and parameter descriptions, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what a flow-based antivirus profile is, what data the response contains, or any prerequisites. For a 1-param tool, it should provide more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the single parameter 'uuid'. The description adds only 'by UUID' but does not clarify format, constraints, or how to obtain the value. It fails to compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
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?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the action without disclosing behavioral traits such as read-only nature, error handling, permissions, or 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is a single 11-word sentence, no redundancy, efficiently conveys the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 required parameters, no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description is too minimal. It lacks details on return value, parameter relationships (e.g., how policy_id and group_id nest), and does not compensate for missing schema descriptions.
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 coverage is 0% and the description does not explain parameters. Parameter names (rule_id, group_id, policy_id) are self-explanatory but no additional context is given, so score is baseline 3.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'a rule inside a NAT policy rule group', distinguishing it from siblings like 'sdcloud_get_nat_policy_rule' which gets a rule without group context, and 'sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules_in_group' which lists rules.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like 'sdcloud_get_nat_policy_rule' (which does not require a group_id) or 'sdcloud_list_nat_policy_rules_in_group'. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Get the status' but does not mention that this is a read-only operation, whether it can be called repeatedly, or what side effects (if any) exist. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the obvious.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 11 words, which is appropriately concise. It includes the core action and key parameter. However, it could be more informative while still being concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description should at least indicate what the response contains (e.g., status fields, progress, etc.). It does not. The tool is simple but the description is incomplete for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one required parameter (cleanup_id) with no description (0% coverage). The description mentions 'by cleanup_id' but does not explain its format, source, or constraints (e.g., where to obtain it). This leaves the agent with insufficient information to correctly construct the parameter.
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 gets the status of a bulk policy cleanup job using a cleanup_id. It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_get_policy_cleanup_job_device_status (which gets per-device status) and sdcloud_start_policy_cleanup_job (which starts the job). The verb 'Get' and resource 'status of bulk policy cleanup job' are specific.
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 implies that this tool is to be used after a cleanup job has been started, to check its status. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or expected sequence (e.g., calling start first). No 'when not to use' information is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get the current RMA state' without detailing what RMA state entails, possible values, or side effects. Minimal disclosure.
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 concise sentence with no extraneous information. Front-loaded and efficient.

Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives like other RMA-related tools or prerequisites. The description does not mention context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, output format, or side effects beyond the basic retrieval.
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?
A single, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. Perfectly concise and well-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?
For a simple get operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it could be improved by specifying the return value or any prerequisites.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks explanation of parameters, return value, and relationship to other tools. For a tool with no output schema and 2 parameters, a more complete description should describe the result and prerequisites.
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 coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It implicitly suggests that deploy_id identifies the deploy job and device_id identifies the device, but doesn't explain where to obtain these IDs or their format. The description adds some context but not enough.
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 the action (Get) and the resource (per-device result of a template deploy job). It is specific and distinguishes from related tools like sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status, which likely returns overall job status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool or when to prefer alternatives. For example, it doesn't mention that it should be used after a deploy job is started, nor does it contrast with sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status or sdcloud_get_template_preview_result_by_device.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behaviors. It only states a read operation without mentioning side effects, permissions, rate limits, or response format. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded. It efficiently conveys the core functionality without unnecessary words.
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?
For a simple get operation with one parameter, the description is adequate but fails to describe the return value or any behavior. Lacking output schema, it could improve by specifying what a web filtering profile object contains.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'by UUID', linking the single parameter to its purpose, but lacks details on UUID format or constraints. Partial compensation.
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 the verb (Get), the resource (web filtering profile object), and the method (by UUID). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list, create, update, and delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'sdcloud_list_web_filtering_profiles' for listing. There are no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It correctly states the tool is read-only, but lacks details on response structure, pagination behavior, or any side effects. The mention of 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' adds some value but is insufficient for full transparency.
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 that front-loads the purpose and includes key features. No wasted words; efficient for a simple list operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain return values, the effect of parameters like 'count', or the nature of the 'reference data'. More detail is needed for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds a high-level summary of parameter capabilities (pagination, filtering, sorting) but no new details beyond what the schema already provides. No parameter-specific value added.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (List) and resource (IPS vulnerabilities) and notes it is read-only reference data. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling 'sdcloud_get_ips_vulnerability' which retrieves a single vulnerability, though the plural and 'list' imply the difference.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sdcloud_get_ips_vulnerability' or when not to use it. The description does not mention exclusions or conditions, leaving the agent without context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only restates parameter capabilities (pagination, filtering, sorting) already visible in the schema. It omits any safety guarantees, default behavior, or limitations.
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, well-structured sentence that is front-loaded and contains no extraneous information. Highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description omits return value details, which is critical since there is no output schema. It also fails to set expectations about the default result set or any pagination behavior beyond the parameter descriptions.
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%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it merely summarizes the optional features. No additional semantic value is provided.
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 the action (list), resource (redirect profile objects), and optional capabilities (pagination, filtering, sorting). It effectively distinguishes this from create/update/delete siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_redirect_profile (for a single profile). The description does not explain scenarios or provide any when-to-use/when-not-to-use context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states 'move (reorder)' but does not disclose side effects (e.g., change requires deployment, effect on rule order, error conditions like invalid position). This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and to the point. However, it could be improved by adding a brief note about position indexing or deployment necessity without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and only 40% schema coverage, the description lacks essential context. It does not explain the reordering mechanics, that position is 1-based, or that the change is not effective until the policy is deployed. The agent may miss important workflow steps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers only 40% of parameters (scope and position). The description adds no further parameter context beyond what the schema already provides. Three of five parameters (rule_uuid, group_uuid, policy_uuid) have no description and are not elaborated.
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 the action ('move/reorder') and the resource ('a single rule within its firewall policy rule group'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, read, update, delete, and bulk_move, which handle multiple rules.
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 implies when to use this tool (reorder a rule within a group), but does not provide explicit guidance on alternatives like bulk_move for multiple rules, or prerequisites (e.g., policy must exist). No when-not-to-use indications.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention side effects, required permissions, rate limits, or response behavior. The tool likely sends an email, but no details on what triggers it or potential errors.
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, clear sentence with no extraneous information. It efficiently conveys the tool's primary action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has one complex parameter (object with no defined properties), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the expected body structure, default behavior, or error conditions, making it incomplete for an agent to use correctly.
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 coverage is 100% for the one parameter 'body'. The description adds 'matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', which indicates the format is proprietary but doesn't specify fields. Baseline 3 is appropriate as it provides some extra meaning beyond the schema.
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 the tool sends an account activation email to a user. The verb 'send' and resource 'account activation email' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling user management tools like sdcloud_create_user or sdcloud_get_user.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not mention prerequisites (user must exist) or scenarios where activation email is not needed. The description implies usage for activation but lacks explicit context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates mutation ('Update') but does not disclose whether the update is destructive or merging, required permissions, or other behavioral effects. The body parameter is a generic object with no schema details, leaving behavior ambiguous.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it could be improved by adding structure or a brief list of key points. As is, it is efficient but somewhat minimal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'global settings' include, what fields are expected in the body, or any side effects. A mutation tool with a generic body parameter requires more context for safe and effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage but the description of the 'body' parameter is generic ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'). It adds no specific meaning about the required fields, format, or constraints beyond the schema, which is insufficient for a nested object parameter.
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 the verb 'Update', the resource 'firewall global settings', and specifies 'tenant-wide' and 'singleton'. It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_get_firewall_global_settings and sdcloud_set_firewall_global_profiles.
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 implies usage when updating tenant-wide global settings, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to use sdcloud_set_firewall_global_profiles instead) or any prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only says 'update' without clarifying mutation behavior (full replace vs partial update), authorization needs, side effects, or idempotency. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
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, concise sentence with no redundant words. It efficiently conveys the core action and key identifier.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple update operation, the description lacks details about return values, error conditions, required permissions, and how the body parameter should be structured. The agent needs more context for reliable invocation.
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 coverage is 50%: only 'body' has a description, while 'uuid' lacks one. The description adds no parameter details beyond the schema, so it does not compensate for the missing uuid description. Baseline 3 applies because schema coverage is moderate but not compensated.
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 the verb 'Update' and the resource 'IPS profile object', and specifies the key identifier 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from sibling update tools for other profiles (e.g., anti_spam, redirect) by naming 'IPS profile'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus create, delete, or list alternatives. No prerequisites or context about the IPS profile lifecycle are provided, leaving the agent to infer usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'Update', implying mutation. It lacks details on behavioral traits like idempotency, required permissions, or effects on related resources.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at 5 words, front-loading the core action and scope. However, it may be too brief for adequate comprehension.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, and the description omits details about return values, side effects, or prerequisites. Given the three required parameters and nested body, the description is insufficient for complete tool understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 33% (only 'body' has a description). The description does not explain 'rule_id' or 'policy_id' beyond their names, and 'body' is vaguely described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.'
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 'Update an ungrouped NAT policy rule' clearly states the verb (Update), resource (NAT policy rule), and scope (ungrouped), distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_update_nat_policy_rule_in_group.
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 'ungrouped' qualifier implies when to use this tool vs grouped alternatives, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'update' without disclosing behavioral traits such as idempotency, partial update behavior, success/failure indicators, or side effects. Minimal disclosure beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise and front-loaded with the verb. No wasted words, though the brevity sacrifices some completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested object parameter, no output schema, no annotations, and multiple sibling tools), the description is too minimal. It does not explain what a URL category list is, how to structure the body, or how it differs from related tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only 'body' has a description), and the tool description adds no additional meaning for parameters. The 'uuid' parameter lacks description, and 'body' is only described as a JSON request body with no further guidance.
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 the verb 'update' and the resource 'URL category list object' with identifier 'UUID', distinguishing it from sibling tools like create, delete, get, and list.
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 vs. siblings, though the name and description imply it is the correct choice for updating an existing URL category list identified by UUID.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states the action and body fields, omitting behavioral traits like atomicity, partial failure handling, permissions, rate limits, or side effects. Significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence followed by body field names. It front-loads the action. While efficient, it sacrifices some informative content for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks context for a complex bulk operation. No output schema, no mention of return values, error handling, prerequisites (e.g., policy existence), or behavior on failure. The nested body object is underspecified.
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 coverage is 67% (two of three params described). The description adds meaning by naming expected body fields (rule_uuids, target_rule_group_id, position, target_scope) beyond the schema's generic 'JSON request body'. However, policy_uuid is not described, and field semantics within body are not explained.
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 the action (Bulk-move firewall policy rules) and the target (target rule group/scope/position). It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_move_firewall_policy_rule_in_group by emphasizing bulk operation.
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 implies usage for moving multiple rules at once via the 'Bulk' prefix and body fields, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives or prerequisites (e.g., policy must exist). No when-not-to-use information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should cover behavioral traits. It mentions the body fields but does not disclose effects (e.g., whether rules are removed from original group, order changes, idempotency, error scenarios). A bare minimum would indicate the operation is atomic or partially applicable.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the action. No filler, but the second sentence listing body fields is helpful. Could be slightly more structured but very efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is too sparse for a bulk operation with no annotations or output schema. Missing details like required policy_id, constraints on rule_ids (e.g., same policy), response behavior, and error handling. Incomplete for a reliable agent invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description explicitly lists the expected fields inside the body (rule_ids, target_rule_group_id, position), adding meaning beyond the schema's generic 'JSON request body matching...' description. This helps the agent understand what to pass despite the schema's low coverage.
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 the action (bulk-move), resource (NAT policy rules), and destination (target rule group/position). It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_move_nat_policy_rule_groups which moves groups, and sdcloud_bulk_move_firewall_policy_rules which deals with firewall rules.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions. The description is purely declarative without any context about use cases 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.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the rule set has no get/update operations, which is a behavioral trait, but it does not mention side effects (e.g., cascade deletion of rules), prerequisites, or authorization requirements.
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 extremely concise at two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and contains no extraneous information. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has two required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description provides minimal context. It explains the purpose and a limitation but lacks details about the rule set's relationship to the profile, deletion behavior, or output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no information about the two parameters (uuid, profile_uuid) beyond what the schema provides. With schema description coverage at 0%, the description should explain the parameters' roles but fails to do so.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it deletes a rule set within an enhanced content filtering profile, specifying the verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from other delete tools in the sibling list, though the parenthetical about no get/update adds context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides useful guidance by noting that there is no get/update for the rule set itself, and only nested rules support get/update. This implies the tool is solely for deletion and alternatives like modifying nested rules exist, though it does not explicitly say when to use it vs. not.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only the verb 'Delete' implies destructiveness, but no details on reversibility, side effects, or required permissions.
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?
Extremely concise: one sentence, eight words. Front-loads the action. No superfluous information.
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?
Adequate for a simple deletion with one parameter, but lacks output schema details and behavioral context. Bare minimum to be functional.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate. It adds 'by UUID' which clarifies the parameter, but the meaning is already clear from the name 'uuid'. Minimal added value.
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?
Clearly states the action (Delete), the resource (ICAP server object), and the identifier method (by UUID). Distinguishes from sibling delete tools targeting other resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when or when not to use this tool. Does not mention prerequisites, impact on related objects, or alternatives (e.g., should the server be disassociated first?).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool deploys a template and returns a job id, but does not mention destructive potential, required permissions, side effects, or what constitutes a successful deployment. The lack of depth for a mutation operation is a significant gap.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no unnecessary verbiage. Efficient and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (deploying a template with a nested body parameter), the absence of an output schema, and missing annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain 'mapped devices,' how to interpret the job id, or what the body should contain. Compare to sdcloud_deploy_site (not seen but likely more detailed), this lacks completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50% (body has a description, template_id lacks one). The tool description adds no parameter details; it does not explain what template_id or body are beyond the schema. The body's schema reference is vague, and the description does not compensate for the missing template_id documentation.
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 the action: 'Deploy a configuration template to its mapped devices.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_template, sdcloud_delete_template, etc., which are about other template operations.
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 provides a usage hint: 'Returns a job id; poll sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status for progress.' However, it does not specify when to use this tool versus other deploy tools (e.g., sdcloud_deploy_site, sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy), nor does it give exclusions or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavior. It indicates a read operation ('Get the status') but does not confirm it is non-destructive, mention return format, or note any side effects. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single concise sentence with no redundancy. For a simple tool, this is efficient, though additional context could be added without becoming verbose.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one param, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate but lacks context. It does not mention that this status corresponds to a job from sdcloud_bulk_deploy_device_image, nor does it describe what kind of output to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter (deploy_image_id) is described only as a string; the description adds no extra meaning to clarify what value to provide (e.g., the ID from a bulk deploy response). Schema coverage is 0%, requiring more compensation.
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 the action ('Get the status') and the resource ('a bulk device-image deploy job'). It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_deploy_device_image and sdcloud_bulk_deploy_device_image, which perform the deployment, while this tool checks the job's status.
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 implies usage after initiating a bulk deploy job, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus other status-checking tools (e.g., sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status). No alternatives or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states 'list', implying a read operation, but does not disclose pagination behavior, rate limits, or whether the operation is idempotent. The name 'get' hints at read-only, but the description lacks explicit safety guarantees.
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 sentence with no fluff. Every word is necessary and front-loaded. It achieves maximum conciseness.
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?
For a list operation with pagination parameters and no output schema, the description is minimal. It covers the core purpose but does not mention that the tool returns a list, how pagination works, or the meaning of the filter parameter. Given the simple nature, it is barely adequate.
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?
The input schema covers 60% of parameters with descriptions (from, size, filter). The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. For the two required parameters (device_uuid, interface_name) without schema descriptions, the description does not clarify them. Baseline 3 is appropriate due to partial schema coverage.
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 states a specific verb 'List' and a precise resource 'subinterfaces configured under a specific interface on a device'. This clearly defines the tool's scope and distinguishes it from the sibling tool `sdcloud_get_device_config_subinterfaces`, which lists subinterfaces at a config level.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. For example, it does not mention that this tool is more specific than `sdcloud_get_device_config_subinterfaces` or when pagination parameters should be used.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should fully disclose behavior, but it only states 'Get a NAT policy by ID.' It does not mention error handling, side effects, or that it is a read-only operation. Minimal transparency for a simple read tool.
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?
Extremely concise: one sentence that is front-loaded with verb and resource. No unnecessary words, making it efficient for quick parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the large sibling set, the description provides no context about what a NAT policy is, what the response contains, or ID format. With no output schema, it leaves the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%; the description adds no extra meaning beyond 'by ID'. The agent learns the parameter exists but gets no hints about format, length, or constraints. Inadequate compensation for missing schema documentation.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'NAT policy by ID', making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It effectively distinguishes from siblings like 'sdcloud_list_nat_policies' and 'sdcloud_delete_nat_policy'.
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 like listing or creating policies. The description implies usage when a specific ID is known, but lacks when-not or alternative tool suggestions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It only states the basic function without disclosing any traits like whether the job must be completed, or what format the result takes. Minimal behavioral context.
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?
A single sentence that efficiently conveys the core purpose with no extraneous information. Properly front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is too brief. It lacks context on how to interpret the per-device result, relationship to the cleanup job lifecycle, or expected behavior. Incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters and no additional metadata.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is low (33%), only 'format' has a description. The tool description does not elaborate on 'cleanup_id' or 'device_id' beyond naming them. It adds no value over the schema, failing to compensate for the missing descriptions.
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 the verb 'get' and the specific resource 'per-device result of a bulk policy cleanup job'. It distinguishes from sibling sdcloud_get_policy_cleanup_job which likely gets overall job status, by specifying 'per-device'.
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 vs alternatives. The description implies it's for retrieving device-specific results after a cleanup job, but does not provide conditions or contrast with similar tools like sdcloud_get_policy_selective_deploy_job_device_status.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the basic read operation without disclosing permissions, error behavior, or return structure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short (4 words) and front-loaded, but it conveys the essential purpose. It could be slightly more informative without harming conciseness.
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?
For a simple get-by-ID tool, the description is minimal. Given no output schema and 0% schema coverage, it lacks details on return value or unique aspects like no-read hints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The one parameter ID is not elaborated upon; the description just says 'by ID' without specifying format or role-specific meaning. Schema coverage is 0%, so description should compensate but doesn't.
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 the action ('Get') and resource ('role'), and implies identification via ID. It distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_list_roles which would fetch all roles.
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 vs other role tools like list_roles or create_role. The description doesn't mention prerequisites or alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It fails to mention that the operation is read-only, whether authentication is required, any rate limits, or that no side effects occur. The only behavioral cue is 'list,' which implies a safe read, but it is not explicit.
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 sentence of 13 words, front-loading the primary action and resource. Every word is necessary, with no filler or redundancy.
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?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is minimally adequate for a straightforward list operation. It states the optional features (pagination, filtering, sorting) but does not describe the return format or any constraints. For a tool with 5 parameters and no output schema, 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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already documents parameters in detail. The tool description adds no additional semantic value beyond what the schema provides. Per guidelines, baseline is 3 for high schema coverage.
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 the action ('List') and the resource ('content filtering profile objects'), making the tool's primary purpose unambiguous. Among sibling tools, the resource name is distinct, so it is well-differentiated from other list operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as `sdcloud_get_content_filtering_profile` (for a single profile) or `sdcloud_list_enhanced_content_filtering_profiles`. It does not indicate prerequisites or scenarios where listing is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose basic behavior (e.g., read-only, pagination, side effects). It only states 'list' without mentioning pagination, filtering, or that it returns a list. This is insufficient for a mutation-aware agent.
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, no redundancy. Perfectly concise for the tool's simplicity.
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 simple, the description omits mention of pagination (from/size) and filtering capabilities. For a list tool, this context would be helpful. No output schema means the description could clarify return value, but it doesn't.
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 coverage is 80%, so most parameters are already described. The description adds no further parameter info, but this is acceptable given the schema's adequacy.
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 the action (list) and resource (CA certificates) with a specific scope (installed on a specific device). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_ca_certificates.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_list_ca_certificates or sdcloud_list_local_certificates). The agent must infer from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions listing with optional parameters but does not state whether the operation is read-only, any rate limits, default behavior, or what happens with no filters.
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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the purpose and lists key features. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
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?
For a simple list tool with no output schema, the description is adequate but could be more complete. It doesn't mention the return format (e.g., array of device objects) or pagination details beyond parameter names.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema—it specifies the resource as 'onboarded devices' but does not enhance parameter understanding.
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 the tool lists onboarded devices and mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. It distinguishes itself from sibling list tools (e.g., list_sites, list_tunnels) by specifying the resource as 'devices'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 versus alternatives like sdcloud_get_device for a single device or other list tools. It lacks context about typical use cases or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
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. It only states the operation, lacking details on pagination, default behavior, side effects, or output structure. The schema covers parameters, but the description adds no extra behavioral context.

Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, no output schema) and the lack of annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not mention pagination, filtering, sorting, or any usage notes. The schema compensates partly, but the description should provide a comprehensive overview.
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 86%, so the schema already documents most parameters. The description adds minimal semantic value beyond clarifying 'ungrouped rules' and 'firewall policy scope', which partially relates to the 'scope' parameter. It does not elaborate on other parameters or their usage.
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 'List ungrouped rules directly under a firewall policy scope', specifying the verb (List), resource (ungrouped rules), and scope context. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rules_in_group, which lists grouped rules, making the purpose unambiguous.
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 implicitly indicates this tool is for ungrouped rules, suggesting when to use it, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives. There is no guidance on prerequisites or comparison with related tools like sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_rule_groups.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Mentions optional pagination, filtering, sorting, which guides usage for list operations. However, does not explicitly provide when-not-to-use or alternative tools like sdcloud_get_ips_service.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'list' and 'read-only', adding minimal context about what NDP entries are. It does not mention permissions, return format, pagination, or any side effects, which is insufficient for a mutation-free but potentially large list operation.
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 extremely concise with two well-structured sentences. The first sentence states the primary action and resource, the second provides essential context for differentiation. Every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is insufficiently complete. It does not explain what proxy NDP entries are, what the return values look like, or how to interpret the response. The agent lacks information to fully understand the tool's purpose and usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 57% (4 of 7 parameters have descriptions). The tool description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides. It does not explain the meaning or usage of any parameters, which is particularly lacking for required parameters like 'address_ids' and 'traffic_match_type'.
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 the verb 'List', the resource 'proxy NDP entries for a NAT policy', and indicates it is read-only. It also explicitly distinguishes from the sibling tool sdcloud_list_nat_policy_arp_entries by calling this the 'IPv6 analogue of ARP entries'.
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 implies usage context by stating 'IPv6 analogue of ARP entries', suggesting this is for IPv6 scenarios while ARP is for IPv4. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions optional pagination but does not state whether this is a read-only operation, if there are rate limits, or how the response is structured.
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, efficient sentence that states the core action and key parameters. No unnecessary words, front-loaded with the verb.
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?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is adequate for a simple list operation with pagination, but it lacks information about the response format, error handling, or any filtering capabilities.
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 coverage is 100% with both parameters well-described. The description adds minimal value beyond 'optional pagination', so it meets the baseline but does not enhance understanding.
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 the action 'List sites' and specifies the pagination parameters, distinguishing it from tool siblings like sdcloud_get_site which retrieves a single site.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to list all sites versus retrieving a specific site. No context about filtering or use cases is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as rate limits, pagination behavior beyond the schema, or whether it is safe/read-only. The description adds minimal transparency beyond the schema.
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, clearly and concisely conveys the purpose and key features. No wasted words.
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?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is minimal. It does not explain return values, default pagination behavior, or any special conditions. However, for a basic list operation with well-documented parameters, it is somewhat complete.
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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 5 parameters. The description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema, just mentions the optional features. 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?
Description clearly states the verb 'list' and resource 'SSL initiation objects', and mentions optional features (pagination, filtering, sorting). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like create, get, update, delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not specify any prerequisites, context, or exclusions. For a list tool, it could mention that it returns all objects unless filters are applied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only restates what the parameters do, which is already in the schema. No mention of read-only nature, rate limits, or response structure.
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 sentence with 10 words, front-loaded with the core action and resource. No unnecessary text.
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?
The description is adequate for a simple list tool, but lacks details on return format or typical use cases. Without an output schema, the agent may be unaware of response fields, but the description does not compensate for this.
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 coverage is 100%, so each parameter has a description. The tool description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, setting a baseline of 3.
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 the action 'List' and the resource 'SSL proxy profile objects', and specifies optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. This distinguishes it from other list operations among siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as other list tools or when pagination/filtering is appropriate. No prerequisites or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description only conveys that it lists objects with optional modifiers. It does not disclose limits, default behavior, or implications of parameters like count=true.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, highly concise and front-loaded. Efficient for an agent to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a list tool with 5 optional parameters and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It lacks return format, error handling, and relationship to sibling tools (e.g., get_url_pattern).
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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema by summarizing 'pagination, filtering, sorting' but does not explain syntax or provide examples.
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 the verb 'List' and the resource 'URL pattern objects', with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. It distinguishes from sibling list tools (e.g., list_url_category_lists) by specifying the exact object type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this vs alternatives like get_url_pattern or other list tools. Does not explain any prerequisites or context for using pagination/filtering/sorting.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
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. It only states that rule groups are reordered/moved at the collection level, without detailing side effects, destructive nature, or any other behavioral traits.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the action, and efficiently contrasts with firewall without any wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and a poorly described body parameter, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what the body should contain, what the response looks like, or any constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not mention parameters at all. The schema has 50% coverage (policy_id described but body is just an object with no properties), and the description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides.
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 the action (reorder/move), the resource (rule groups within a NAT policy), and distinguishes from firewall rule moves by noting that NAT moves are at the rule_groups collection level.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly contrasts this tool with firewall rule moves, providing clear context for when to use it vs the firewall alternative. However, it does not mention any prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It states 'Update' (mutation) but does not disclose side effects, idempotency, partial vs full update, permissions, or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no waste. However, under-specified given the tool's complexity; could include more context without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No annotations, no output schema, and the description omits important details like how to construct the body, error handling, or behavioral traits. Incomplete for safe and effective use.
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 coverage is 50% (body has description, pool_id has none). The description adds 'by pool ID' for pool_id and says body is 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema', adding marginal value beyond the schema.
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 the specific verb 'Update' and resource 'NAT pool object by pool ID', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like create, get, list, and delete.
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 vs alternatives (e.g., prerequisites like pool existence). Usage is implied but not elaborated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'Trigger a cleanup job' without disclosing behavioral traits such as whether the job is asynchronous, what side effects occur (destructive cleanup), or how to monitor job progress. This is insufficient for a tool that initiates a background operation.
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 two sentences with no unnecessary words. The first sentence states the action and target, the second adds a key requirement. Clean and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and the complexity of triggering a cleanup job, the description is incomplete. It does not mention that the tool likely returns a job ID for tracking, nor does it connect to associated job-status tools (e.g., sdcloud_get_policy_cleanup_job). The body schema is vague, and cleanup_mode values are not enumerated.
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 coverage is 50% (body has a description, policy_id does not). The description adds that body requires cleanup_mode (e.g., STRICT), which provides meaningful guidance for the body parameter. However, it does not explain policy_id, and the body's dynamic schema is not elaborated beyond the example.
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 triggers a cleanup job for unused objects/rules referencing a NAT policy. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'sdcloud_cleanup_firewall_policy' by specifying 'NAT policy' instead of firewall policy.
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 indicates that the body requires a cleanup_mode (e.g., STRICT), giving a hint about usage. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., deleting a NAT policy directly) or when not to use it. No mention of prerequisites or post-cleanup steps.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It hints at typical body fields (name, description, device UUIDs) but does not explain idempotency, error cases, required permissions, or side effects of creation.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, and contains no extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a create tool with a complex nested body and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the role of device groups, creation behavior, or what happens after success (e.g., returned ID). Context is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's impact.
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% for the single 'body' parameter, setting a baseline of 3. The tool description adds context about typical fields (name, description, device UUIDs) beyond the schema's generic description, providing some added meaning.
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 'Create a new device group' with a specific verb and resource. Sibling tools include other CRUD operations (list, get, update, delete), so this tool is well-distinguished as a creation tool.
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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. Usage is implied solely by the action 'Create', but no context about prerequisites or alternatives is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the creation action but does not mention any side effects, permissions required, idempotency, or constraints. The description lacks important context despite the tool being a mutation.
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?
Two short sentences with no unnecessary words. The purpose is front-loaded and the typical fields are provided efficiently. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is incomplete for a create operation. It does not explain what the response contains (e.g., the created object ID), prerequisites (e.g., existence of identity_type or domain), or error conditions. Given no output schema, the description should provide more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only describes 'body' as a generic JSON object. The description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, identity_type, identity_domain), which helps the agent construct the body. With 100% schema coverage but minimal schema detail, the description compensates well.
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 the action ('Create a new identity object') and lists typical fields (name, description, identity_type, identity_domain), making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It distinctly separates this create action from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_identity_object and sdcloud_update_identity_object.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to create vs. update an identity object. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or context for when creation is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral details. It only states 'Delete' without explaining consequences (e.g., permanent removal, effects if profile is in use, required permissions). The lack of transparency is a significant gap.
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, focused sentence of 8 words with no extraneous information. It is efficiently front-loaded and easy to scan.
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?
For a simple delete operation with one parameter, the description is minimally adequate. However, it omits any mention of permanence, failure conditions, or relationship to other objects. Could be more complete, especially given no output schema or annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one required parameter 'uuid' with no description. The description adds 'by UUID' but does not explain the format, source, or constraints beyond what the schema already shows. With 0% schema description coverage, the description offers minimal added value.
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 the action ('Delete'), the resource ('anti-spam profile'), and the identifier method ('by UUID'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_delete_anti_virus_profile or sdcloud_delete_content_filtering_profile.
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 implies that the tool requires a UUID, but it provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update instead of delete) or any prerequisites. Minimal usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description only states 'Delete', but lacks details on mutation effects, reversibility, permissions, or cascading impacts.
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, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. Information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool's simplicity, the description lacks context on return values, idempotency, or side effects. For a delete operation, more detail would be helpful for proper use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema is empty (0 parameters), so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info, and its brevity is acceptable here.
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 the action 'Delete' and the resource 'tenant external probe configuration', which is specific and distinct from sibling tools like create and get.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool, such as prerequisites (e.g., probe not in use) or when not to use it. Alternatives are not discussed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits like irreversibility, cascade effects, or required permissions. It only states the action without any such details, leaving the agent uninformed about consequences.
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, direct sentence with no unnecessary words. It is optimally concise for a simple delete operation.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not mention return values (no output schema) or any side effects, leaving the agent without full context for invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the 'uuid' parameter beyond its variable name. The agent must infer that it is the UUID of the profile group to delete, which is minimal added value.
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 the action (delete) and the resource (SecIntel profile group object by UUID). It distinguishes the tool from sibling delete operations targeting different resources.
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. Context implies it should be used when needing to delete a specific secintel profile group, but lacks prerequisites or recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description indicates a read operation ('Get'), which is appropriate. However, without annotations, it should disclose any prerequisites (e.g., permissions, required scope) or side effects. The description is minimal and does not add behavioral context beyond the implied read-only nature.
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 concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and immediately conveys the tool's purpose.
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?
For a simple get operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it could be improved by noting that the tool returns the full address object, which would aid the agent in understanding the response.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It only reiterates that the parameter is a UUID (already obvious from the property name). It does not provide format, example, or any constraints beyond the schema's type: string.
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 the action (Get), the resource (address object), and the identifier (by UUID). It effectively distinguishes this retrieval tool from siblings like sdcloud_list_addresses, sdcloud_create_address, etc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs. alternatives such as sdcloud_list_addresses. The description lacks context about the appropriate scenario for invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states what the tool does but does not disclose pagination, rate limits, or other behavioral traits. The schema hints at pagination via 'from' and 'size', but the description ignores these aspects.
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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool's apparent simplicity, the description lacks explanation of pagination, filtering, or the nature of IDP sensors. With no output schema, the agent has no guidance on what the response contains. This is insufficient for a 4-parameter tool.
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 75% (3 of 4 parameters documented in the schema). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a 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 uses a specific verb 'List' and resource 'IDP sensors', clearly scoped to 'a device's configured'. This distinguishes the tool from its many siblings, which do not mention IDP sensors.
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. While the tool's specificity implies its use case, the description does not provide any contextual advice or mention alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It communicates a simple read operation, but lacks details about potential errors, permissions, or what happens if the UUID is invalid. Adequate for a minimal getter but not fully transparent.
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 sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the key information. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description minimally covers the core purpose but omits details about response structure, error handling, and prerequisites. It is adequate for a straightforward get operation but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'uuid' parameter. The description only mentions 'by UUID' without explaining what a valid UUID looks like, how to obtain it, or any constraints. The description adds minimal value over the schema.
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 the action ('Get') and the resource ('IPS profile object') with the identifier method ('by UUID'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_ips_profiles and sdcloud_create_ips_profile.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list, create, or update. The description assumes the user already knows they need a specific profile by UUID, but provides no context about prerequisites or scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description only states the retrieval action; it does not disclose potential side effects, authentication needs, or other behavioral traits.
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, directly conveys the purpose without extra words. Front-loaded and efficient.
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?
Tool is simple (get by ID). No output schema, but description is sufficient. Could mention that the object contains profile details, but not strictly necessary.
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 coverage is 0%, but the description implies that `uuid` is the identifier. For a single required parameter, this adds basic meaning, but no format or constraints are explained.
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 the action ('Get'), the resource ('SecIntel profile object'), and the identifier ('by UUID'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list profiles, update, delete, or get group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list profiles). No mention of prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It does not explicitly state that this is a read-only operation, nor does it describe any side effects, rate limits, or pagination limits. The description is minimal and assumes the agent knows it is a safe list operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that conveys the core functionality efficiently. It could be slightly improved by explicitly naming the pagination parameters, but it is not verbose and front-loads the main action.
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?
Given the moderate complexity (5 parameters, no output schema), the description covers the essential aspects. However, without an output schema, it would benefit from a brief note on the expected response (e.g., 'returns a list of profile objects with details') to help the agent understand the return format.
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 coverage is 100% with detailed param descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description aggregates the parameters into 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting', which adds a high-level understanding but does not provide additional syntax or constraints beyond what the schema already offers.
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 the verb 'List' and the specific resource 'enhanced content filtering profile objects', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_content_filtering_profiles (for non-enhanced profiles) and sdcloud_get_enhanced_content_filtering_profile (which returns a single object).
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 mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting, which gives context on how to use the parameters, but it does not provide guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives such as sdcloud_list_content_filtering_profiles or when to use the 'count' parameter versus fetching details.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It implies a read-only operation but does not explicitly state safety (no destructive effects), authentication needs, rate limits, or pagination behavior (e.g., default size). The description is too minimal to offer meaningful transparency beyond the operation type.
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 sentence that immediately starts with the verb 'List' and efficiently covers the resource and optional features. No redundant text; every word contributes to the purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
There is no output schema, so the description should clarify the return format (e.g., list of profiles with fields, pagination metadata). It only says 'profile objects' without specifying structure. Combined with missing behavioral details, the description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior and output.
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?
The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all 5 parameters. The tool description summarizes them as 'pagination, filtering, and sorting' but adds no additional detail or examples. Since the schema already documents each parameter, the description adds limited semantic value beyond grouping the features.
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 'List flow-based antivirus profile objects', specifying the exact resource type and action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_anti_virus_profiles (non-flow-based) and the create/get/update/delete variants for the same object.
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 mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting, giving some usage context. However, it does not compare with alternative tools like sdcloud_get_flow_based_antivirus_profile for single-object retrieval, nor does it specify when not to use this tool. Basic guidance is provided but no exclusions or broader context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description lacks details on side effects (though likely read-only), permissions, or pagination behavior. The phrase 'optional pagination' hints at features but does not describe limits or defaults.
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, active voice, no redundancy. Efficiently conveys key information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Without output schema, the description should indicate what is returned (list of certificate details). It also omits default values for parameters like 'size' and does not explain the effect of 'count=true' on output.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds 'across the fleet' but no parameter-specific value beyond schema descriptions.
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 specifies the action (list), resource (local certificates), and scope (across the fleet). It distinguishes from device-specific or CA certificate listing tools in the siblings.
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 implies usage for fleet-wide certificate listing but does not explicitly contrast with device-specific alternatives or provide when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It mentions pagination but lacks detail about read-only nature, result ordering, or any limits. The minimal behavioral info is adequate for a simple list but not rich.
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 succinct sentence that conveys the core action and key parameter usage. No superfluous words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, and the description does not describe the return format (e.g., list of role objects). Given the simplicity of the tool, more context on what is returned would improve completeness for an agent.
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 coverage is 100%, so the description's mention of 'optional spec.size/spec.from pagination' adds little beyond the schema descriptions. It confirms they are pagination-related but doesn't provide new semantic insight.
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 the tool lists roles, which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling 'get' tools like sdcloud_get_role by implying a list operation, and pagination parameters add clarity on scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For instance, it doesn't mention that sdcloud_get_role is for retrieving a single role, leaving the agent to infer the use case without explicit context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description mentions support for pagination, filtering, and sorting, which adds some behavioral context. However, it does not explicitly state it is read-only or disclose any other behavioral traits like authorization needs or rate limits.
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, clear sentence with no superfluous words. Efficiently conveys the core functionality.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema; the description does not explain the return format or structure of the listed templates. For a list tool, this is a significant gap, as agents need to know what data fields to expect.
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 coverage is 100% with all parameters described. The description does not add significant extra meaning beyond the schema; it only summarizes the optional features. 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?
Description clearly states 'List configuration templates' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_template' and 'delete_template' by using 'list'. Mention of optional pagination, filtering, and sorting adds specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_template' for a single template or other list tools. No when-not or explicit context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the operation returns a job ID and suggests polling, but it does not reveal whether the operation is destructive, idempotent, or what happens if devices are missing. This is insufficient for a removal action.
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 three sentences, front-loading the core action and then providing essential details about the body and expected result. No superfluous information.
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?
Given the lack of output schema and the nested object parameter, the description covers the basics (what it does, what goes in body, how to track progress). However, it could be more complete by specifying the exact format of the body or potential error scenarios.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter 'body' with a generic description. The tool description adds that the body typically includes a list of device UUIDs, which clarifies the parameter's content beyond the schema, adding meaningful context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Bulk-remove devices', specifying the verb (remove) and resource (devices). While it distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_reboot_devices by focusing on removal, it does not explicitly differentiate from other device operations.
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 implies usage by stating body typically contains device UUIDs and that polling a status endpoint is needed. However, it gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description should disclose behavioral traits like read-only nature, response format, or data freshness. It only states the operation, leaving the agent to infer the rest.
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 sentence that conveys the essential purpose without any extraneous words. It is front-loaded and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having zero parameters, the tool lacks an output schema and annotations. The description does not clarify return value structure, possible status values, or scope (e.g., tenant-wide). Given the complex sibling ecosystem, more context is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The baseline is 4, and the description adds no parameter details, which is acceptable since none are needed.
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 'Get' and resource 'count of tunnels' with a distinct grouping 'by status'. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_tunnels (lists details) and sdcloud_get_tunnel (single tunnel).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as sdcloud_list_tunnels. No context is given for preferred scenarios or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description reveals it is asynchronous by noting it returns a job id and suggests polling. It does not disclose potential side effects, permissions, or error states.
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 consists of two concise sentences: one for purpose and one for follow-up action. It is front-loaded and contains no extraneous text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (bulk operation, single nested parameter, async), the description lacks details on input format, device list specification, and error handling. No output schema exists to compensate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter 'body' is described vaguely as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The description adds minimal semantics beyond the schema, failing to explain required fields or structure.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Bulk-deploy a software image to multiple devices.' The verb 'bulk-deploy' differentiates it from singular deploy siblings like sdcloud_deploy_device_image.
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 outlines when to use it (for multiple devices) and mentions polling sdcloud_get_deploy_image_status for progress. However, it does not explicitly exclude scenarios like single-device deployment or provide alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'create,' implying a write operation, but lacks details on permissions, idempotency, side effects, or error conditions. Minimal beyond the function name.
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 two short sentences, front-loading the purpose and providing a useful parameter hint. Every sentence contributes meaning with no wasted text.
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?
For a creation tool with no output schema, the description covers the basic action and typical body fields but omits return value details, required sub-fields, and links to related CRUD tools. Adequate but could be more complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema for the single parameter 'body' is generic (matches SD Cloud schema) with no sub-fields defined. The description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, address_patterns), helping the agent understand what to include.
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 'Create a new URL pattern object,' identifying the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list, get, update, and delete by specifying creation. The hint about typical body fields adds further clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives or on prerequisites. It does not mention any conditions or exclusions, leaving the agent without context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It discloses the effect of the 'ungroup_rules' parameter (keeps rules if true, deletes them otherwise) and notes the inability to update in place. However, it does not describe potential side effects like cascading deletions, permission requirements, or what happens to the rule group's position. The transparency is moderate.
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 extremely concise, consisting of two sentences and a note—about 30 words. It front-loads the primary action and efficiently conveys the key information: what it does, the optional parameter behavior, and an important limitation (no update). Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
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?
For a delete operation with an optional parameter, the description covers the main functionality and the ungroup option. However, it omits any mention of error conditions (e.g., if policy or group does not exist), prerequisites, or return values. With no annotations or output schema, the tool feels slightly under-documented for an agent to safely invoke it without additional context.
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?
The input schema has no descriptions (0% coverage). The description explains the purpose of 'ungroup_rules' but does not provide details on 'group_id' or 'policy_id' beyond being identifiers. It partially compensates for the low schema coverage, but more detailed descriptions of the IDs (e.g., format, source) would improve semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Delete a rule group within a NAT policy') and the resource. It also explains the optional behavior of ungrouping rules. While it distinguishes itself from sibling delete tools like sdcloud_delete_nat_policy_rule by specifying the resource as 'rule group', it does not explicitly contrast with all siblings, which is acceptable given the clarity.
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 provides guidance on when to use this tool (to delete a rule group) and includes an important note that rule groups cannot be updated in place, so delete and recreate instead. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention any prerequisites (e.g., policy existence). The guidance is adequate but not comprehensive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It only states the basic function, omitting details like error handling, authentication, or whether the object exists. This is insufficient for a get operation.
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 the purpose. No wasted words; efficient and clear.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one param, no output schema), the description is adequate for basic usage. However, it lacks explanation of the return value or what an ICAP profile is, which could be improved for 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 coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions in the schema. The description adds 'by UUID', confirming the parameter's role, but does not specify format or constraints. This adds some value but is minimal.
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?
Description clearly states the action (Get), the resource (ICAP profile object), and the method (by UUID). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list, update, and delete.
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 guidelines on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to use list vs get. Implicitly, it is for retrieving a single object by ID, but no explicit context or when-not is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It indicates a read operation but does not disclose potential error behavior (e.g., if UUID not found) or any 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 8 words—very concise. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool, but could include additional detail without being verbose.
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?
Given the low complexity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description explains the basic function but lacks details on return format, error conditions, or prerequisite identifiers (e.g., how to obtain the UUID).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It only mentions 'by UUID', adding minimal value beyond the schema property name. No format or example provided.
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 the verb 'Get', the resource 'ICAP server object', and the method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list, create, update, and delete.
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. The purpose implies it is used when a specific UUID is known, but no context or exclusions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must provide behavioral context, but it only states the action. It does not disclose whether the tool is idempotent, what happens on missing UUID, or any required permissions. For a simple getter, this is minimally acceptable but lacks transparency.
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 sentence that clearly states the action and object. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, with no unnecessary words.
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?
For a simple getter with one parameter, the description covers the core functionality. However, it does not mention what is returned (e.g., full object details) or error behavior. Given the low complexity, it is mostly complete but could add a sentence about the return value.
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?
The description clarifies that the uuid parameter is used to identify the object, but no additional details like format, constraints, or examples are provided. With 0% schema description coverage, this adds minimal semantic value beyond the raw schema.
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 the specific verb 'Get' and resource 'identity object', and specifies the retrieval method 'by UUID', which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'list_identity_objects' and other CRUD operations.
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 lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. While the tool's purpose is clear from its name and description, no alternatives or conditions are provided, leaving the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It implies a read-only operation with no destructive effects, but does not disclose other behavioral aspects such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or what happens if the UUID does not exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that efficiently conveys the core purpose. However, it could benefit from additional structure (e.g., a separate line for context or parameter explanation).
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?
The description is minimal but sufficient for a simple retrieval operation. It does not mention return values or error scenarios, but given the tool's simplicity and the existence of sibling tools for other operations, it covers the essential context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'uuid' has no description in the schema and the description merely repeats 'by UUID'. It does not add any meaning beyond what the schema provides (a string identifier). Given 0% schema coverage, the description should elaborate on the parameter's purpose and format.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'SSL initiation object' with the identifier method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_list_ssl_initiations', 'sdcloud_create_ssl_initiation', etc.
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 provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. For a simple retrieval, the usage is implied but not explicitly clarified.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting, but does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or safe. With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden but only partially discloses behavior.
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 that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and optional features without unnecessary words.
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?
Given no output schema, the description does not explain the return format or what fields are included in the profile objects. It is adequate for a simple list tool but lacks completeness about the response.
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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes each parameter. The description summarizes parameters as pagination, filtering, sorting, which adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema definitions.
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 the tool lists Advanced Anti-Malware (AAMW) profile objects. It specifies the resource type and mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting, which distinguishes it from other list tools for different resources among siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like create, get, update, delete AAMW profiles. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only discloses the lack of pagination. Missing details like authentication needs, response format (list of objects), and effects of no parameters (returns all profiles).
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose. No wasted words. Efficient for a simple list tool.
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?
Given no output schema, the description could mention that it returns a list of IPsec profile objects. It covers the no-pagination constraint but lacks response format details. Adequate for a trivial tool but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters (schema coverage 100%). Per calibration, 0 params gives baseline 4. Description adds no param info, but none needed.
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 'List all IPsec profiles' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, get, update, delete by focusing on listing. The addition of 'all' clarifies scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 like sdcloud_get_ipsec_profile for a single profile. The description only mentions no pagination but does not advise on usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting, but does not disclose behavior like default pagination, maximum limits, or that it is read-only. Adds some value but insufficient for full transparency.
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 with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word earns its place.
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?
Given no output schema and 5 optional parameters, the description provides a basic overview but lacks details on return format, data scope, or side effects. Adequate but not rich enough for a complete understanding.
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%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add extra meaning beyond stating that pagination, filtering, and sorting are optional. No additional parameter details or examples.
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 'List IPS signature objects' with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. It is a specific verb-resource combination that distinguishes this tool from sibling list tools targeting other resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like sdcloud_list_ips_signature_categories or other listing tools. No when-not-to-use or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it's a read-only operation, response size limits, pagination default behavior, or rate limits. For a listing operation, this is insufficient.
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, concise sentence (10 words) that front-loads the primary action and resource. Every word earns its place; no excess information.
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?
For a simple list tool without output schema, the description is adequate but could mention that it returns a list of scheduler objects, that it's read-only, or default pagination behavior. Lacks completeness in covering expected outcomes.
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% (all 5 parameters have descriptions in the schema). The description adds no new meaning beyond 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting', so baseline score of 3 applies.
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 the verb 'List' and the resource 'scheduler objects', and mentions optional features like pagination, filtering, and sorting. It distinguishes from sibling tools (e.g., sdcloud_create_scheduler, sdcloud_get_scheduler).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions pagination/filtering/sorting but fails to describe response format, side effects, or any rate limits. Minimal disclosure for a listing tool.
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, 8 words, front-loads core action. No wasted words. Excellent conciseness.
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?
Adequate for a simple CRUD list tool with well-documented parameters. However, missing information about response structure, maximum results, or any special behavior. No output schema to compensate.
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 coverage is 100% with good parameter descriptions. Description adds only a high-level summary ('optional pagination, filtering, and sorting'), which adds marginal value beyond schema. 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?
Clear verb+resource: 'List service objects' distinguishes from get_service (single) and create_service (creation). Phrase 'with optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' specifies scope.
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?
Implied usage for listing multiple services, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs. other list tools (e.g., sdcloud_list_sites) or when to prefer get_service for a single item.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool is read-only, authentication requirements, rate limits, or effects beyond listing. For a read operation, it should at least indicate it is non-destructive.
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, clear sentence that is front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word is necessary, and no extraneous information is included.
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?
For a list tool with no output schema, the description is adequate but minimal. It does not explain the return structure (e.g., paginated list) or any limitations. More detail would help an agent understand the expected response format.
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?
With schema coverage at 80%, most parameters are already described in the schema. The description adds only generic mention of pagination, filtering, and sorting, without providing additional meaning beyond the schema definitions.
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 lists associations for a subscription, with specific examples (sites/devices) and mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_subscriptions, which lists subscriptions themselves.
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 implies usage for listing associations, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_create_subscription_association for creating). No when-not or alternative tools are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It says 'Update' but does not disclose if it is an idempotent patch or a full replace, whether it requires specific permissions, or any side effects on existing settings. The scope 'tenant-wide' is useful but insufficient for a mutation tool.
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?
A single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and scope.
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?
Given the tool is simple (one parameter, no output schema), the description is minimally complete. However, with numerous sibling tools and no explanation of the singleton concept or relationship to other settings, it lacks sufficient context for an agent to confidently select this tool over similar ones.
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 coverage is 100%; the single parameter 'body' has a schema description but it is generic ('JSON request body matching the target schema'). The tool description adds no additional meaning about the body's structure or required fields, so 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 uses the verb 'Update' and clearly identifies the resource as 'tenant-wide content security settings singleton.' It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'sdcloud_get_content_security_settings' (read) and other setting update tools.
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 other settings tools like 'sdcloud_set_firewall_global_settings' or 'sdcloud_set_proxy_server_config.' The context of 'tenant-wide' and 'singleton' implies it is for a single, global settings object, but no when-not-to-use or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only states 'Update' without clarifying mutation behavior (e.g., idempotency, partial vs full replacement, validation of body). This is minimal for a mutation operation.
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?
A single, focused sentence with no extraneous information. Perfectly concise for a simple update operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema or annotations, the description is overly terse. It does not mention that the UUID must correspond to an existing ICAP server, the expected format of the body, or any side effects of the update.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (body has a description, uuid does not). The description adds no value beyond the schema's parameter names, failing to explain constraints or typical usage for the body parameter.
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 the verb 'Update', the resource 'ICAP server object', and the method 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from siblings like create, get, list, delete, and other update tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly indicates this tool is for updating an existing ICAP server by UUID, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives or prerequisites such as ensuring the UUID exists.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It fails to disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, potential side effects (e.g., overwriting existing objects), required permissions, rate limits, or error conditions. Only the action 'create' is implied, but without further details.
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 the core action, and no superfluous words. Every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that this is a create tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is inadequate. It does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., created object ID or status), success/error behavior, or any prerequisites. The mention of 'body typically includes' is helpful but insufficient for an agent to use it reliably.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter 'body' with a generic description. The description adds value by listing typical fields (name, protocol_version, etc.), providing concrete guidance beyond the schema's 'JSON request body matching the target schema'.
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?
Description clearly states 'Create a new SSL initiation object', specifying the verb and resource. It also lists typical fields (name, protocol_version, etc.), and distinguishes from sibling CRUD tools (list, get, update, delete) that are present in the sibling list.
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?
Usage is implied: use when you want to create an SSL initiation object. However, there is no explicit guidance on when not to use it, prerequisites, or comparison with alternative tools (e.g., updating an existing one). The sibling names suggest a CRUD set, but the description does not clarify the context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Create' and typical body fields, lacking details on side effects, permissions, idempotency, or response expectations.
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?
Two sentences, first states purpose, second provides typical body content. No wasted words, front-loaded.
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?
For a creation tool with a complex body parameter, the description covers purpose and typical contents. It lacks return value info but is sufficient for basic usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'body' is vaguely described in the schema. The description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, url_patterns), helping the agent structure the request.
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 'Create a new URL category list object', which specifies the action (create) and the resource (URL category list object). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list, get, update, delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. The description only states what to include in the body, not context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Delete' without detailing consequences, reversibility, or side effects. The tool is destructive, but no additional context is provided.
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 with no extraneous words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose.
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?
For a simple delete-by-ID operation, the description is largely sufficient. However, it could mention return values or error conditions to fully inform an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'uuid' is described as 'by UUID' in the description, which adds meaning beyond the schema (type string). This clarifies that the UUID is the identifier, making the parameter's role clear.
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 'Delete a proxy server object by UUID' clearly states the action (delete), the resource (proxy server object), and the identifier (UUID). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_proxy_server or sdcloud_update_proxy_server.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks context on prerequisites, scenarios where deletion is appropriate, or warnings about cascading effects.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Describes async nature (returns job id, polling needed) but does not disclose authorization needs, destructive potential, or error conditions.
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?
Two concise sentences with clear action and follow-up step. No redundancy.
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?
Describes purpose and async pattern, but missing details on required body schema and return value structure. Adequate for a simple deploy tool but could be more comprehensive given nested object parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 50%. Description adds no parameter-level detail beyond schema; fails to explain 'image_uuid' or structure of 'body'.
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?
Clearly states action (deploy), resource (software image definition), and target (device(s)). Distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_bulk_deploy_device_image and sdcloud_get_deploy_image_status.
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?
Implies usage through 'single' vs 'bulk' sibling, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No comparison with other deploy tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must bear the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states a read operation but does not mention behavior on invalid UUID, rate limits, or any side effects. Minimal transparency.
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, complete sentence with no extraneous information. It is concise and front-loaded with the key verb and resource.
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 the tool's simplicity (one required parameter, no output schema), the description covers the essential purpose. However, omitting details like response structure or potential errors slightly reduces 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?
The single parameter 'uuid' is described in the description as 'by UUID', adding meaning beyond the schema's type-only definition. However, with 0% schema description coverage, the description adds minimal extra context; 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 clearly specifies the verb 'Get' and the resource 'content security profile object', and identifies the retrieval method 'by UUID'. It effectively distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_list_content_security_profiles.
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?
While the description implies use for retrieving a single profile by UUID, it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list or search tools. No when-not-to-use or alternative tool references are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must convey behavioral traits. It indicates a read operation ('Get'), which implies no side effects. However, it does not mention prerequisites, error behavior, or confirm safety beyond the verb.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded, efficiently conveying the purpose in one phrase. However, it could be slightly expanded for clarity without sacrificing conciseness.
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?
For a simple get operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It specifies the resource and key but lacks details about return value or behavior on missing UUID. More completeness would be beneficial given the lack of output schema.
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?
The single parameter 'uuid' has no schema description (0% coverage). The tool description adds 'by UUID', confirming its role, but does not explain format, validation, or constraints. This provides minimal additional value over the parameter name.
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 the action 'Get' and the resource 'URL category list object', specifying the retrieval method 'by UUID'. This distinguishes it from sibling operations like list, create, update, delete.
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 implies usage when you have a UUID to retrieve a specific URL category list, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list or when not to use it. No context or exclusions are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behaviors. It mentions optional features but lacks details on default sorting, result limits, or performance implications. As a read-only operation, it is safe, but more context would be beneficial.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, clear, and front-loaded with the core action and resource. Efficient but could be structured with bullet points for optional features.
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?
Given no output schema, the description does not explain return format or limitations. It is sufficient for basic invocation but lacks completeness for agents needing detailed behavioral expectations.
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 coverage is 100%, so all parameters are described in the schema. The description reinforces that pagination, filtering, and sorting are optional but does not add meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as filter syntax.
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 the verb 'List', the resource 'ICAP server objects', and highlights optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. It effectively distinguishes from siblings like 'sdcloud_list_icap_profiles' and other list tools.
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 indicates that pagination, filtering, and sorting are optional, but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool over alternatives like 'sdcloud_get_icap_server' or other list tools. No 'when not to use' or alternative mentions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds 'read-only reference data' which clarifies safety, but lacks details on pagination, ordering, or response format. With no annotations, more behavioral context would be beneficial.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence of 12 words, no redundancy. Efficient, but could be structured with bullet points to add more detail (e.g., pagination defaults).
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?
Adequate for a simple list operation with no output schema, but lacks hints about response fields. Could be more complete given the absence of output schema.
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 coverage is 100%; description adds that 'service' is an optional filter. This provides minor additional meaning beyond schema, meeting baseline for high coverage.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'List', resource 'IPS anomaly tests', and notes it is read-only reference data, optionally filtered by service. This distinguishes it from sibling list tools like sdcloud_list_ips_profiles.
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?
Implies usage as a read-only list, but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool over alternatives such as sdcloud_list_ips_profiles or sdcloud_list_ips_services. No when-not-to-use or prerequisites mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions it lists the hierarchy and contrasts with firewall policies. It fails to state whether it is read-only, what the return structure is, or any required permissions. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
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 extremely concise, consisting of two sentences that front-load the action and key differentiator. Every word adds value, with no redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having 6 parameters for pagination, filtering, and sorting, no output schema, and no annotations, the description fails to explain what the hierarchy looks like, how results are structured, or how to navigate the response. More context is needed for a complex list hierarchy operation.
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?
The input schema has high coverage (83%) and describes all parameters well. The description adds no additional meaning about parameters, so it meets the baseline for high coverage without needing extra parameter info.
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 lists a NAT policy's rule hierarchy, using a specific verb and resource. It also distinguishes itself from firewall policies by noting the lack of global/zone scope segment, which differentiates it from its sibling sdcloud_list_firewall_policy_hierarchy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly tells when to use (listing NAT policy rule hierarchy) and contrasts with firewall policies. However, it does not provide explicit when-not-to-use scenarios or mention prerequisites like the existence of a NAT policy.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses support for pagination, filtering, and sorting via parameters, but does not mention read-only nature, performance implications, or response format. Additional context like idempotency or default behavior would improve transparency.

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?
Given the complexity (5 optional parameters, no output schema), the description lacks details about response format and default behavior. Sibling list tools are similar, but this description is adequate for basic understanding. Missing information about pagination defaults (e.g., max size) and filtering syntax reduces 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 coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions for each parameter. The description adds the phrase 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' but does not significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema. 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 clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'URL category list objects', and mentions optional pagination, filtering, and sorting. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_url_category_list (single retrieval) and create/update/delete variants.
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 implies usage for retrieving multiple URL category lists but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to use sdcloud_get_url_category_list for a single list). No guidance on when not to use it or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It fails to mention that the tool is read-only, what the response structure is (list of objects), or any side effects. For a list tool, basic behavioral context is missing.

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 the tool's simplicity (list with optional parameters, no output schema), the description is largely complete. It covers the purpose and optional operations. However, it omits the response format (list of variable zone objects), which would be helpful for an agent expecting structured output.
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?
All five parameters have descriptions in the input schema, achieving 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning beyond those schema descriptions, so it meets the baseline but does not enhance clarity.

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 (e.g., for retrieving a single zone use 'get_variable_zone'). The usage is implied but lacks explicit guidance or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It states 'validate' but fails to specify if the operation is read-only, what side effects exist (likely none), required permissions, or error scenarios. The description is too vague to inform safe usage.
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, concise sentence with no redundant words. It efficiently conveys the core purpose without unnecessary detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (nested object parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values, validation criteria, or prerequisites. More detail is needed to fully understand the tool's behavior and results.
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 coverage is 100% with one parameter, and the description for 'body' in the schema is already explanatory. The tool description adds only the phrase 'site parameters', which aligns with the parameter name, providing minimal added value beyond schema.
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 'validate' and resource 'site parameters', and explicitly states the context 'before creating a site'. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_site.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear timing context ('before creating a site'), implying appropriate use as a pre-validation step. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the context is sufficient for standard use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of transparency. It discloses that the operation is asynchronous by stating it returns a job id and directs polling for progress. However, it does not mention any potential side effects, permissions, or whether multiple syncs can be triggered concurrently.
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 two sentences, each purposeful. The first identifies the action and resource, the second provides the follow-up polling instruction. No redundant or unnecessary words.
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?
The description adequately covers the core purpose and async nature for a straightforward sync trigger. However, it lacks details on prerequisites, error handling, and the structure of the body parameter, which, combined with no output schema, leaves some gaps for the agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no information about the parameters beyond what the input schema provides. One parameter (mnha_cluster_id) has no description in either the schema or the tool description, and the body parameter's schema description is generic. With 50% schema coverage, the description should have compensated but did not.
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 the action ('Trigger a sync') and the resource ('MNHA cluster'), with the acronym expanded. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like sdcloud_sync_devices by naming the specific cluster type.
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 provides a clear context for when to use the tool (to sync an MNHA cluster) and instructs the user to poll sdcloud_get_mnha_cluster_sync_status for progress. However, it does not mention any alternatives or conditions when this tool should not be used, which is a gap given the number of sibling sync tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behaviors. It notes that the tool returns a job id (async) and requires polling for status. However, it does not clarify if the operation is read-only or has any side effects, leaving some ambiguity.
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 concise: only two sentences, no filler. It front-loads the primary action and then the follow-up step, making it efficient for an agent to parse.
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?
Given the asynchronous nature and lack of output schema, the description covers the basic flow but omits potential error cases, prerequisites, or expected outcomes. It is reasonably complete for a simple validation tool but leaves some context gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not elaborate on the two parameters: template_id and body. The schema provides a brief description for body ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'), but template_id lacks any description. The overall description adds no semantic detail beyond the schema.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Validate a configuration template against its mapped devices.' It specifies the return type (job id) and the next step (poll sdcloud_get_template_validate_status). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like deploy or preview.
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 indicates when to use this tool (for validation before deploy/preview) and mentions the polling follow-up. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternative tools for similar tasks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description only states 'Create', which implies mutation but does not disclose important behavioral traits such as idempotency, error conditions, authorization needs, or what happens on duplicate or invalid inputs.
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 two sentences, front-loading the key distinction. Every sentence is necessary and no redundant information.
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?
Given the tool has a nested object parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but lacks details on return values, prerequisites (e.g., policy must exist), and error handling. It differentiates from siblings but omits operational context.
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 coverage is 67% (two of three params described). The description adds value for the 'body' parameter by listing typical fields (name, description, action, etc.), but provides no extra meaning for 'policy_uuid'. The schema already describes 'scope' sufficiently.
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 the action ('Create a rule') and the specific location ('directly under a firewall policy scope (not inside a rule group)'). It lists typical body fields, distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_firewall_policy_rule_in_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says where the rule is placed and contrasts with rule-group placement, guiding the agent to choose between this and the sibling tool. However, it does not provide further when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It adds value by explaining the response is passed through as-is (file content or reference), but does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or discuss side effects, permissions, or error conditions.
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 two concise sentences with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the core purpose and adds key behavioral and parameter context efficiently.
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?
Given the tool complexity (download with optional body filtering) and absence of output schema or annotations, the description is adequate but not exhaustive. It lacks details on template_id, error handling, and response format beyond 'as-is'.
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 coverage is 50% (only body has a description). The description adds context that body selects which devices/mappings to include, which is helpful. However, template_id lacks any description, and the body description remains vague about structure.
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 the action ('Download') and the resource ('CSV device-parameter mapping file for a template'). It is specific and distinguishes this tool from siblings like upload, list, and delete template operations.
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 implies that the body selects which devices/mappings to include, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sdcloud_upload_template_csv) or provide context on prerequisites or restrictions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get', indicating a read operation, but fails to mention authorization requirements, what happens if the singleton is not configured, or any side effects. For a simple getter, this is minimal disclosure.
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 sentence that is front-loaded and contains no extraneous information. Every word serves a purpose, making it highly concise and efficient.
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?
Given the simplicity of the tool (no parameters, no output schema), the description is adequate but lacks details about the return value format or behavior when settings are absent. It meets the minimum viability but could be more complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100% (vacuous). The description adds no parameter info, but none is needed. According to calibration, a baseline of 4 is appropriate for zero-parameter tools when the purpose is clear.
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 the verb 'Get' and the specific resource 'tenant-wide content security settings singleton'. It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'sdcloud_get_content_security_profile' and 'sdcloud_set_content_security_settings' by specifying 'settings' vs 'profile' and indicating it's a singleton.
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 implies basic usage (retrieve settings) but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to use profile-specific getters or the set tool. No exclusions or context are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states 'Get ... singleton'. It lacks details about side effects, authentication, rate limits, or return format, which is minimal for a tool with no annotation support.
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 with no fluff. Every word serves a purpose.
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?
For a simple get operation with no output schema, the description is adequate but could be improved by hinting at the return type or content of the configuration.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters and 100% coverage, so the description does not need to add parameter semantics. The baseline score for no parameters is 4.
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 specifies the verb 'Get' and the resource 'proxy server configuration', and the annotation '(singleton)' effectively distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_proxy_server and sdcloud_list_proxy_servers.
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 implies usage when retrieving the singleton configuration, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives like sdcloud_get_proxy_server or sdcloud_set_proxy_server_config.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the burden. It indicates a read operation (list) and mentions optional pagination/filtering, but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as rate limits, default result size, or whether the tool is idempotent. Minimal but adequate.
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 concise sentence that immediately states the action and key features. No unnecessary words, front-loaded with purpose.
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?
For a list tool with 5 optional params and no output schema, the description is adequate but minimal. It does not explain the return format, default pagination behavior, or how filters/sortby should be formatted. Completeness is average given the tool's simplicity.
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 coverage is 100% with each parameter described individually. The description adds a summary of param capabilities (pagination, filtering, sorting) but does not provide additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.
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 the verb 'List' and the resource 'anti-virus profile objects', and distinguishes the tool by mentioning optional pagination, filtering, and sorting, which differentiates it from simpler list tools among many sibling tools.

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates a read operation (list) and mentions optional features, but does not disclose response format, pagination behavior, or any specific constraints beyond what the schema already conveys.
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?
A single, clear sentence with no redundant information. Every word adds value and the structure is efficient.
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?
Given no output schema and 5 parameters, the description is minimal. It does not describe the structure of returned application objects or pagination limits. While sufficient for basic understanding, it lacks detail for more complex scenarios.
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?
The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds a high-level summary ('optional pagination, filtering, and sorting') but does not provide additional meaning beyond the schema definitions.
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 the verb 'List', the resource 'application objects', and the optional features 'pagination, filtering, and sorting'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling list tools that operate on different resources.
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 implies usage (when you need to list applications) from the name and description, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use it or suggest alternatives (e.g., for single application retrieval, use sdcloud_get_application).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description mentions optional features but not idempotency, rate limits, or scope of results. Adequate but could disclose more.
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?
One sentence covering purpose and key features (pagination, filtering, sorting). No wasted words.
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?
No output schema or annotations; description covers basics but omits return type or default behavior. Adequate for a simple list tool.
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?

Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (bulk cleanup, no output schema, async likely), the description is missing details on job tracking, return values, and how the cleanup is performed. It provides enough to initiate use but not to fully understand the lifecycle. Could mention checking status via sdcloud_get_policy_cleanup_job.
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?
The single parameter 'body' has 100% schema coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value by stating it matches the target schema but does not provide examples, constraints, or clarification on how to structure the body for bulk cleanup across policies.
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 the tool starts a bulk cleanup job across multiple policies, removing unused objects/rules. It explicitly distinguishes itself from single-policy sibling tools like sdcloud_cleanup_firewall_policy or sdcloud_deploy_nat_policy, providing a specific verb and resource scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly contrasts this bulk tool with single-policy alternatives, guiding agents to use this when affecting multiple policies. However, it does not explicitly state when to avoid using it (e.g., if only one policy needs cleanup) or provide other usage conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions multipart upload and base64 encoding but does not disclose side effects (e.g., overwrite behavior), authentication requirements, rate limits, or return format. Given the absence of annotations, this is a significant gap.
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 two short sentences, front-loaded with the verb and purpose. Every word is informative, with no redundancy or fluff.
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?
Given that there is no output schema and no annotations, the description covers input requirements but lacks details on return values, error cases, naming constraints, or idempotency. For a creation tool, this leaves some uncertainty for an agent.
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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds that file_content is base64-encoded YAML, which aligns with the schema description. It does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, so 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 the verb (upload), resource (workflow definition YAML file), and action (create/register a new template). It specifies the upload method (multipart) and format (base64-encoded). The tool distinguishes itself from similar sibling tools like sdcloud_upload_template_csv by focusing on YAML content.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when creating/registering a new template via YAML upload, but does not explicitly exclude alternatives or provide when-not-to-use guidance. However, the purpose is clear enough that an agent can infer the appropriate context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not explain whether creation is immediate or async, required permissions, return value on success, or error handling. This lack of behavioral context leads to a low score.
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 concise (two sentences) and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word adds value, with no redundant or extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (create operation) and lack of output schema or annotations, the description is insufficient. It fails to mention return values, error conditions, prerequisites, or whether the operation is synchronous. The open schema further necessitates more context, which is absent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has only one parameter 'body' with a generic description ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'). The tool description adds value by listing example fields (name, description, ssl_type, preferred_cipher), guiding the agent on what to include. This improves parameter semantics beyond the schema alone.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Create a new SSL proxy profile object.' It specifies the action (create) and resource (SSL proxy profile), and lists typical body fields (name, description, ssl_type, preferred_cipher), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list, get, update, and delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for creation but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update or delete). The verb 'create' provides clear context, but no exclusions or alternative scenarios are mentioned, resulting in a score of 4.

Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, permissions, or rate limits. For a read operation, additional context is expected.
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 with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose.
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 the simple input and no output schema, the description is adequate but lacks a mention of what the returned object contains. It is complete for a straightforward getter.
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?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not elaborate on the 'uuid' parameter beyond its existence. The meaning is self-evident from the tool name, but the description does not add value.
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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'SSL proxy profile object' with the method 'by UUID'. It contrasts with sibling tools like sdcloud_list_ssl_proxy_profiles (list) and create/update/delete operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you have a UUID, which is clear. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives beyond the implied context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It correctly indicates a read-only operation (listing) but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits (e.g., pagination limits, performance, or consistency guarantees). No contradiction.
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?
One sentence clearly conveys the core action and optional features (pagination, filtering, sorting). No unnecessary words.
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 no output schema, the description addresses the tool's purpose adequately. It covers fleet-wide scope and optional capabilities. However, it could hint at the return structure (e.g., list of certificate objects) to 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%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description only adds 'optional' qualifier, which is implied by the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'List CA certificates across the fleet,' using a specific verb and resource. The phrase 'across the fleet' distinguishes this tool from sibling 'sdcloud_list_device_ca_certificates,' which lists per device.
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 implicitly suggests fleet-wide listing but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. There is no mention of alternatives like per-device listing, though the sibling tools exist.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It correctly indicates a read-only operation (list), but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits such as required permissions, rate limits, or side effects. It is acceptable but not detailed.
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, clear sentence that front-loads the action and resource. Every part is relevant, with no wasted words.
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 the absence of an output schema, the description does not explain return values. However, for a straightforward list operation with well-documented parameters, it provides sufficient context. Slightly better than minimal due to mentioning optional features.
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?
The input schema covers all 5 parameters with descriptions. The description adds no new information beyond what the schema already provides, so 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 the action (list), the specific resource (device software image definitions), and optional features (pagination, filtering, sorting). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create or delete operations.
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 implies usage for listing definitions, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives like create or delete, nor provides any exclusion criteria. It is adequate for a simple list tool but lacks guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden. It declares the operation as read-only, but does not disclose potential rate limits, performance impact, or behavior when no results are returned.
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, well-structured sentence that conveys purpose and key features without redundancy.
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?
For a simple list tool with 5 parameters and no output schema, the description is reasonably complete. It covers the essential aspects (list, read-only, pagination, filtering, sorting), though it could mention return format or field details.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds 'optional pagination, filtering, and sorting' which summarizes the parameters but adds no new meaning beyond the schema descriptions.
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 the verb 'List' and the resource 'IPS contexts', and explicitly notes it is read-only reference data. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_ips_context (single item) and other list tools.
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 mentions 'read-only reference data' which implies safe usage, but does not explicitly provide when-to-use vs alternatives or when not to use. No guidance on related tools for deeper operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Since no annotations are provided, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It explicitly labels the tool as 'read-only reference data', which clearly indicates no side effects. This is adequate for safe usage, though details like authorization requirements are omitted.
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 with a parenthetical addendum. Front-loaded with the core action and resource, no filler. Every word earns its place.
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?
For a simple read-only list tool with 2 optional parameters and no output schema, the description is sufficiently complete. It identifies the resource and read-only nature. No gaps that would mislead, though it could hint at return format or relation to other IPS tools.
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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters ('from' and 'size'), so the schema already documents them. The description does not add additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline for a list tool with simple pagination.
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 'List available IPS signature categories' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_list_ips_signatures or sdcloud_list_ips_profiles. The parenthetical 'read-only reference data' reinforces its role.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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. While it's implied for reference, there is no mention of when not to use it (e.g., for categories used in creating profiles) or differentiation from similar list tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral aspects. It correctly discloses the tool's read-only nature ('List') and supported operations (pagination, filtering, sorting). However, it omits details on default pagination limits, response structure, or any potential performance considerations.
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, clear sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key capabilities without any filler or redundancy.
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 the tool's moderate complexity (5 parameters, no output schema), the description adequately covers the main use case. It could be improved by noting default pagination behavior or expected response format, but the schema fills some gaps.
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 coverage is 100%, with each of the 5 parameters described in the input schema. The description summarizes the parameter roles ('pagination, filtering, sorting') but does not add significant new meaning beyond what the schema already provides. 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 clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'SecIntel profile group objects', and further specifies optional features like pagination, filtering, and sorting. This distinctly sets it apart from sibling tools such as sdcloud_get_secintel_profile_group (single object) and sdcloud_list_secintel_profiles (different resource).
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 implies usage for listing profile groups but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when you need details of a specific group, use sdcloud_get_secintel_profile_group). There are no when-not statements or references to prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the operation returns a job id and is asynchronous, requiring polling. However, it does not mention potential side effects (e.g., device downtime), required permissions, or error conditions (e.g., invalid version_number). The description is minimal but not misleading.
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?
Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and then provide the next steps. Every sentence adds value without any fluff or repetition.
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?
Given that this is an asynchronous rollback operation with no output schema, the description should explain the return value format (just says 'job id') and any prerequisites (e.g., device must exist, version must be a valid prior version). It references the status polling tool, which helps, but misses important details like error handling or version validation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (device_uuid, version_number) with no descriptions (0% schema_description_coverage). The description does not explain these parameters at all, leaving the agent to guess their meaning or format. For example, it does not specify that version_number likely comes from sdcloud_list_device_config_versions. This is a significant gap.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Trigger a rollback of a device to a prior configuration version.' The verb (trigger rollback) and resource (device configuration version) are specific, and it is easily distinguishable from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_device_config_latest_version or sdcloud_list_device_config_versions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on what to do after calling the tool: 'Returns a job id; poll sdcloud_get_config_rollback_status for progress.' This tells the agent to use the status-pulling sibling tool. However, it does not mention when to use this tool versus alternative rollback methods, but for a simple rollback operation, the guidance is adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the operation is non-activating, returns a job id, and suggests polling. It does not mention idempotency, side effects, or prerequisites like whether the image definition must exist. Basic transparency but lacking detail.
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 extremely concise: two sentences. First sentence states purpose and scope, second describes the asynchronous pattern. All information is relevant and front-loaded. No superfluous words.
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?
Given the tool's complexity (2 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers the basic purpose and flow (return job id, poll status). However, it does not explain the structure of the body parameter, prerequisites (e.g., image definition must exist), or potential errors. Adequate but incomplete for full autonomous usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 2 parameters: image_uuid (string, no description) and body (object with generic description). Schema description coverage is 50% (only body has a description). The tool description does not add meaning to the parameters beyond what's in the schema, leaving image_uuid unexplained. This is insufficient for an agent to know what value to provide.
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 the verb 'stage (pre-position)' and the resource 'single software image definition on its target device(s) without activating it', distinguishing it from activation operations like deploy. It also specifies the return type (job id) and the next step (poll status).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use: when you want to pre-stage an image without activation. It explicitly says 'without activating it' and directs to poll sdcloud_get_stage_image_status for progress, guiding post-invocation behavior. However, it does not mention when not to use it or compare to bulk staging/deploy alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses that the action 'immediately invalidates the old credentials', which is critical behavioral information. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and provides useful context about irreversibility.
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?
Two sentences that are direct and front-loaded with the warning and action. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite clear purpose and sensitivity warning, the tool has a single complex parameter with no structure guidance and no output schema. The description does not compensate for this, leaving the agent without enough information to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description omits any details about the required 'body' parameter, which is an opaque object. Schema coverage is 100% but only gives a vague description. The agent has no guidance on what fields (e.g., old/new password) to include, making correct invocation difficult.
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?
Clearly states 'Changes the password of the currently authenticated user' with a specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from all sibling tools, which are about firewall policies, IPsec, devices, etc., none of which handle password changes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly warns 'Sensitive/destructive-ish action' and says 'confirm intent before calling', guiding careful use. Does not mention alternatives, but no other tool directly competes for password changes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Create,' implying mutation, but provides no details on reversibility, permissions, idempotency, or side effects. This is minimal behavioral disclosure for a creation tool.
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, well-structured sentence that efficiently communicates the core purpose and a brief parameter hint without any wasted words.
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?
For a tool with a complex nested object parameter and no output schema, the description gives a reasonable overview of the rule's purpose and typical fields. However, it lacks information about the return value (e.g., created rule object) and any constraints on the body.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers 50% of parameters (policy_id described, body described generically). The description adds value by listing typical body fields (name, description, nat_type, etc.), going beyond the generic schema description. However, it does not specify required body fields or format.
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 the action ('Create a rule') and the location ('directly under a NAT policy, not inside a rule group'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like sdcloud_create_nat_policy_rule_in_group. It also hints at typical body fields, reinforcing the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly contrasts with creating a rule in a rule group, giving clear when-to-use guidance. However, it does not elaborate on prerequisites (e.g., the NAT policy must exist) or when to avoid this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full behavioral context. It states the action but fails to disclose side effects, permissions, return values, idempotency, or constraints. The description is too brief for a mutation operation.
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, efficient sentence with no superfluous information. Every word serves a purpose, making it ideal for quick comprehension.
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?
For a creation tool with an open schema and no output schema, the description covers the primary action and typical body fields but omits details on return values, success/failure behavior, or prerequisites. It is minimally adequate but incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a vague parameter description. The tool description adds value by listing typical fields (name, description, type, default_zone) that the body should contain, compensating for the schema's lack of clarity.
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 'Create a new variable zone object.' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like list, get, update, delete by indicating creation. The mention of typical body fields adds specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The verb 'Create' makes the primary usage clear but does not explicitly state when not to use (e.g., for modifications) or provide alternative tool names. However, the context of CRUD siblings implicitly conveys the appropriate usage scenario.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the tool previews a diff, without disclosing read-only nature, side effects, permissions, or rate limits. For a preview operation, more behavioral context (e.g., it's safe, no side effects) would be beneficial.
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 two sentences: one for purpose and one for body requirements. Every sentence adds value, with no fluff. It is front-loaded with the most important information.
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?
For a preview tool with no output schema, the description omits important details like what the output (the diff) looks like, how to interpret it, and any prerequisites. It provides enough to use the parameters but lacks completeness around results and integration with deploy workflow.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% (only body has a vague description). The description adds significant value by specifying required fields inside the body (deploy_targets and/or undeploy_targets with format), which is beyond the schema's generic description.
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 'previews the configuration diff a NAT policy deployment would produce', which is a specific verb ('Preview') and resource ('configuration diff a NAT policy deployment'). It easily distinguishes from sibling deploy tools like sdcloud_deploy_nat_policy and sdcloud_selective_deploy_nat_policy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states what the body requires ('deploy_targets and/or undeploy_targets') and provides the format. While it doesn't explicitly say when not to use it or list alternatives, the context is clear for a preview operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It explains the operation (starting a job to deploy multiple policies to a subset of devices) but does not mention job type (async/sync), return value, or how the subset is specified. Missing details typical for job-starting tools.
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?
Two concise sentences: first states purpose, second provides sibling differentiation. No fluff, front-loaded with key information.
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?
For a job-starting tool with no output schema and a generic body parameter, the description is missing details on job lifecycle, how to check status (despite sibling get_job tools), and body structure. Adequate but not fully complete for an agent to use without prior context.
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 coverage is 100% with one body parameter described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline of 3 for high coverage.
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 the tool starts a bulk selective-deploy job and distinguishes it from single-policy tools by noting it operates across all policies in the request body. The verb 'start' and resource 'bulk selective-deploy job' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly differentiates this tool from single-policy tools like sdcloud_{deploy,preview,cleanup,selective_deploy}_{firewall,nat}_policy, providing clear context on when to use it. However, it does not include explicit exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description labels the operation as 'Get,' indicating a read-only action. However, since no annotations (like readOnlyHint) are provided, the description carries the burden. It does not mention potential side effects, access requirements, or return format, but for a singleton read, the lack of detail is acceptable.
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, compact sentence that front-loads the essential information: verb ('Get'), resource ('firewall global settings'), and scope ('tenant-wide'). No extraneous words or padding.
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 the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description adequately conveys the tool's purpose and scope. It does not explain return values, but the lack of output schema makes this omission acceptable. The description is sufficient for an agent to understand what the tool does.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters, and the input schema has 100% coverage (vacuously). The description adds no parameter-specific meaning, which is expected. The baseline score of 4 is appropriate given no parameters exist.
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 retrieves 'tenant-wide firewall global settings singleton,' specifying both the resource and scope. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_set_firewall_global_settings (mutate) and sdcloud_get_firewall_device_global_settings (per-device), providing clear differentiation.
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 implies usage for tenant-wide settings but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., per-device settings). No exclusionary language or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the operation returns a job id (async) and suggests polling, but does not mention potential side effects like overwriting device config, required permissions, or failure modes. The transparency is adequate but not comprehensive.
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 two sentences: the first states the core purpose, the second specifies the output (job id) and the follow-up tool to poll. Every word is necessary for an agent to understand the tool's function and next steps. Excellent conciseness.
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 the tool's role in an RMA workflow and the absence of an output schema, the description covers the main action, output, and next step. It could be improved by noting that it's a long-running operation or indicating prerequisites (e.g., device state). Overall, it is fairly complete for a simple async tool.
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 coverage is 50%, with only the 'body' param having a description in the schema. The description adds that the body contains the prior RMA device configuration, which gives some semantic meaning beyond the schema. However, it does not detail the required fields within the body or the format of device_id. With 2 params and moderate coverage, a score of 3 is fair.
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 'Reactivate' and identifies the resource as a replacement device with prior RMA config. It distinguishes from sibling 'sdcloud_activate_rma_device' by specifying the use of prior config. It also mentions the output (job id) and follow-up tool, providing clear purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description states to poll 'sdcloud_get_rma_reactivation_status' for progress, giving a clear follow-up action. It does not explicitly state when or when not to use this tool, but for an RMA reactivation workflow, the context is implied. A score of 4 is appropriate as it provides usage context without explicit alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It indicates 'preview' which implies a read-only diff, but does not explicitly state that no changes are made, nor does it mention authentication or rate limits. Adequate but not fully explicit.
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 two sentences and directly conveys the purpose and required body structure without unnecessary words. It's well-structured and front-loaded.
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?
The description explains what the tool does and what the body requires, but does not mention the output format or return value, which is important for a preview tool. It also lacks context on synchrony or job execution. Adequate but incomplete for a more complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 50% with minimal descriptions. The description adds significant value by specifying that the body requires deploy_targets and/or undeploy_targets with a structure of {target_id, target_type}, compensating for the schema's lack of detail.
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 the tool 'previews the configuration diff' of a firewall policy deployment, distinguishing it from deploy or cleanup siblings. The verb 'preview' and resource 'firewall policy' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description specifies that the body requires deploy_targets and/or undeploy_targets, guiding on required input. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_deploy_firewall_policy or sdcloud_selective_deploy_firewall_policy.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It accurately states that the tool returns a job id (indicating asynchronous operation) and requires polling. It does not mention error handling, permissions, or prerequisites, but the core behavior (non-destructive preview) is transparently described.
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 sentence (effectively two clauses) that front-loads the purpose and immediately states the output and next step. Every word is necessary; there is no redundancy or fluff. It is an excellent example of conciseness.
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 the tool's simplicity (preview, no output schema), the description covers the essential elements: what it does, what it returns, and how to follow up. It references the polling tool by name, which helps the agent chain calls. It could mention that the preview result is retrieved via the status tool, but overall it is sufficiently complete for an async preview tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 2 required parameters with only 50% coverage (body has a description, template_id lacks one). The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond the schema: it doesn't explain what template_id represents or provide details for the body parameter (e.g., structure, examples). Thus, it fails to compensate for the schema's gaps.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Preview the configuration a template deployment would produce.' It uses a specific verb ('Preview') and resource ('template deployment configuration'), and distinguishes from siblings like sdcloud_deploy_template and sdcloud_validate_template by focusing on preview rather than execution or validation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides immediate guidance on how to use the result: 'Returns a job id; poll sdcloud_get_template_preview_status for progress.' This tells the agent what to do after invoking. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus siblings (e.g., when preview is needed before deployment) or include any exclusion criteria, so it's not a full guidelines set.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'multipart upload' which hints at a file upload operation, but does not specify if the operation is synchronous or asynchronous, whether it replaces existing licenses, or what permissions are needed. The presence of sdcloud_get_install_license_status suggests async behavior, but it's not mentioned.
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?
Two short sentences containing all necessary information without redundancy. Every word adds value.
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 no output schema or annotations, the description is fairly complete. It covers the tool's purpose, the key parameters, and the conditions for using them. It could mention the asynchronous nature or how to check status, but overall it provides a solid understanding of how to use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 80% (4 of 5 parameters have descriptions), but the description adds significant context: it explains the purpose of each content parameter (primary vs secondary), that they must be base64-encoded, and the condition that at least one must be provided. This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions.
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 the action ('Install a license on a device'), specifies it's a multipart upload, and distinguishes between primary and secondary license files for standalone vs l2_cluster secondary devices. This differentiates it from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_install_license_status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on when to use each parameter: provide at least one of license_file_content (for standalone) or secondary_license_file_content (for l2_cluster secondary device). It lacks explicit 'when not to use' but the conditions are clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the operation (bulk-reboot), async behavior, and follow-up polling. However, it omits potential side effects (e.g., service disruption) or permission requirements, which would be ideal for a mutating tool.
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 extremely concise with three short sentences, each adding critical information. No redundant or irrelevant content, well front-loaded with the core action.
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?
For a simple reboot tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: action, parameter content, return value, and next step. It could be enhanced by specifying error conditions or exact parameter format, but it is largely complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema's body description is generic ('JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'), but the description adds meaningful guidance: 'typically includes a list of device UUIDs.' This clarifies the expected content beyond the schema.
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 'Bulk-reboot devices' with a specific verb (reboot) and resource (devices). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_remove_devices by focusing on reboot functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides guidance on the body parameter ('list of device UUIDs') and indicates the asynchronous nature (returns job id to poll). While it doesn't explicitly list alternatives or when-not-to-use, the context is clear enough for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must carry the full burden. It mentions bulk operation and body structure but lacks details on asynchronicity, return value, permissions, or destructive nature. Adequate but not comprehensive.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. No redundant information; every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so description should clarify what the tool returns (e.g., job ID) and whether it's synchronous. Lacks these details, reducing completeness for a job-starting tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Single parameter 'body' with generic schema description. The description adds value by specifying typical body content ('list of policy_ids and/or device_ids'), which aids agent in constructing the request.
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 the tool starts a bulk deploy job across multiple policies/devices, and contrasts with single-policy tools. The verb 'start' and resource 'bulk deploy job' are specific and distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly contrasts with single-policy tools (sdcloud_{deploy,preview,cleanup,selective_deploy}_{firewall,nat}_policy), specifying when to use this tool for bulk operations vs alternatives. Includes hint about body content.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the core behavioral trait: it's a preview that computes a configuration diff without applying changes. It could further describe what happens after the job starts (e.g., how to get results), but the essential behavior is clear.
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 well-structured sentence that front-loads the main purpose, followed by a sibling differentiation. No fluff or redundancy.
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?
Given the tool's complexity (bulk preview with an opaque schema body) and lack of output schema, the description is adequate but leaves gaps. It doesn't explain how to format the request body or what the job result looks like. It does differentiate from siblings, but more context would improve agent usability.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter is 'body', described as 'JSON request body matching the target Security Director Cloud schema.' This adds no specific meaning beyond the schema, and the schema itself does not define the internal structure of the body. The description does not help the agent understand what fields or format are required.
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 the action (start a bulk preview job) and the resource (across multiple policies/devices). It distinguishes from sibling single-policy tools by specifying that it operates on all policies in the request body, unlike the single-policy tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use this tool (for bulk preview across multiple policies) and contrasts it with single-policy alternatives, providing clear usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It implies an async operation by returning a job id and referencing a status poll tool. However, it does not disclose potential side effects, permissions required, or error behavior. The description adds some value but lacks depth on behavioral aspects.
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?
Two concise sentences: first states purpose, second provides post-call guidance. No unnecessary words. Efficiently structured.
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?
The description covers the main aspects: what the tool does, what input looks like, and what to do with the output. For a simple async sync tool, this is sufficient. Could mention 'asynchronous' explicitly, but the job id implies it. Missing output schema is fine because description explains the return value.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There is only one parameter 'body' with a generic schema description. The tool description adds 'Body typically includes a list of device UUIDs,' which clarifies the expected content beyond the schema alone. This improves understanding, so score above the baseline of 3.
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 the tool's purpose: 'Bulk-sync devices with the controller.' It specifies the verb (sync), resource (devices), and context (controller). It also distinguishes from sibling sdcloud_get_sync_devices_status by mentioning polling for progress.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides guidance on when to use the tool and what to do after: 'Body typically includes a list of device UUIDs' and 'Returns a job id; poll sdcloud_get_sync_devices_status for progress.' It does not explicitly exclude alternatives but covers the typical workflow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states a read operation ('Get'), implying no destructive side effects. The behavior is simple and clear, though it could mention if any specific permissions are needed. Overall, it is fairly transparent for a zero-parameter read operation.
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 sentence that directly states the purpose. Every word earns its place; no fluff or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple zero-parameter tool without output schema, the description explains what the tool returns (tenant ID / token scope) and its purpose. It is complete enough for the agent to know when and how to invoke it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has no parameters, so the input schema covers 100% of nothing. The description adds no parameter information, which is appropriate since there are none. Baseline 4 applies because schema coverage is high and description is not needed for params.
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 'Get' and identifies the resource 'tenant ID / token scope'. Among many sibling getter tools, this one is uniquely about tenant identity, so it distinguishes itself clearly.
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 provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. However, as a simple retrieval of authentication context, usage is implied when the caller needs the tenant ID. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It correctly characterizes the operation as a list/read behavior. It does not disclose any non-obvious traits (e.g., rate limits, prerequisite context), but the basic behavior is adequately conveyed.
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, concise sentence that front-loads the core action and resource, then specifies the optional features. No unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool is a list operation with fully described parameters and no output schema required, the description sufficiently covers the functionality. It is complete for an agent to understand what the tool does and when to invoke it.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for all 4 parameters. The description restates the optional nature of pagination, filtering, and sorting but adds no new meaning beyond the schema. 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 the action ('List'), the resource ('NAT pool objects'), and optional capabilities (pagination, filtering, sorting). It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_get_nat_pool (single object retrieval) and sdcloud_list_nat_policies (different resource).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing NAT pools with optional filtering and sorting, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide exclusions. However, given the sibling context, the purpose is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
