delimit_release_rollback

Revert a whole environment to a prior release version when services show regressions, ensuring coordinated rollback across apps.

Instructions

Revert a whole environment to a prior release version (experimental).

When to use: when delimit_release_validate or delimit_obs_alerts indicate a regression that spans services and you need to revert the WHOLE environment to a known-good release, not just one app. Typical sequence: alert fires -> delimit_release_history to pick a target -> this -> delimit_release_status to confirm. When NOT to use: to roll back a single app at the SHA level (use delimit_deploy_rollback), to roll back an npm publish (npm publish history is largely append-only — there is no clean rollback), or to roll forward (delimit_release_plan).

Sibling contrast: delimit_deploy_rollback reverts one app at the SHA level; this reverts a release version across services in lockstep. delimit_release_history is how you pick the to_version.

Side effects: invokes backends.ops_bridge.release_rollback which MUTATES the live environment — services are flipped to the to_version artifacts. No license gate at this level (handled by the backend's own admin checks). Marked EXPERIMENTAL — handler may return partial results on backends without rollback automation; verify with delimit_release_status afterwards. No automatic ledger write, no automatic notification — pair with delimit_evidence_collect + delimit_notify per the deploy-gate chain.

Behavior5/5

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

Despite no annotations, the description fully discloses side effects: mutation, experimental nature, partial results possible, no license gate, no auto-ledger/notify. This is comprehensive behavioral 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?

Well-structured with clear sections (purpose, when, when not, sibling contrast, side effects). Slightly long but every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with the key action.

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's complexity (experimental mutation), no annotations, and existing output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, side effects, and post-verification steps. Highly 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?

Schema covers all 3 params with descriptions. Description adds value by clarifying that 'version' is the failing release and 'to_version' is the target from delimit_release_history, and gives usage context 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 starts with a clear verb-reource pair: 'Revert a whole environment to a prior release version'. It distinguishes from siblings like delimit_deploy_rollback which is for single-app SHA rollback.

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?

Explicit 'When to use', 'When NOT to use' sections, a typical sequence (alert -> history -> this -> status), and sibling contrast make it clear when to choose this tool over alternatives.

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