sdcloud_selective_deploy_nat_policy

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
