hs4.admin.plugins.install

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

With no annotations available, the description must fully disclose behavior. However, it only says 'Install a plugin through admin controls' without mentioning side effects, permissions, or whether the operation is destructive. The many safety-related parameters (confirm, maintenanceWindowId, etc.) are not explained in context.

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 single sentence is too brief for a tool with 12 parameters and significant administrative implications. Essential information is missing, making the description under-specified rather than concise.

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

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

Given the high parameter count, no output schema, and no annotations, the description fails to provide a complete understanding of the tool's operation, prerequisites, or consequences. The tool appears to be a critical admin mutation, yet the description lacks essential context.

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?

Although schema coverage is 75%, the description adds no additional meaning beyond the parameter names and types. Key parameters like dryRun, confirm, and riskLevel are not explained in the description, leaving the agent without context on how to use them effectively.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (install) and the resource (plugin) with the context (admin controls). It distinguishes the tool from siblings like hs4.admin.plugins.update and hs4.admin.plugins.remove.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool, what prerequisites exist, or when not to use it. There is no comparison with sibling tools to help the agent decide.

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