run_script_on_device

Execute a saved script on a specific NinjaOne device using its device ID and script ID, with optional run-as context and parameters.

Instructions

Execute a saved script on a specific device. The script must already exist in NinjaOne's script library.

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 it executes a script, without disclosing whether it's synchronous, returns a job ID, error handling, or permission requirements. Lacks critical behavioral 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?

Two sentences, no redundant words, clear and front-loaded with purpose. 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?

No output schema; description does not mention return type (e.g., job ID), side effects, or async behavior. For an execution tool, this could be more complete, but basic purpose is clear.

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 schema already describes all 4 parameters well. The description adds no parameter-specific information, earning the baseline score.

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 verb 'Execute' and resource 'saved script on a specific device'. It also adds a constraint ('script must already exist'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that are not script-execution oriented.

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?

Description provides a precondition (script must exist) which guides usage. However, it does not explicitly discuss when not to use or list alternatives, but sibling tools are sufficiently different.

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