export_openvpn_client_config

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

Annotations only provide readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, offering little safety context. The description adds 'Generates downloadable client configuration,' which clarifies the output but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or rate limits. It is not contradictory but provides minimal additional 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.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is appropriately concise, with the action verb 'Export' in the first sentence and a brief clarifying sentence. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's purpose, with no redundancy or filler.

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?

An output schema exists, so the description does not need to explain return values. The description provides sufficient high-level context for a tool with many optional parameters, and the mention of both config file and installer package covers the key variation. It could have been slightly more explicit about the downloadable nature, but it is adequate.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so each of the 13 parameters is described in the input schema. The description does not add extra semantic detail about parameters, interactions, or the importance of server_id, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 specific verb 'Export' and the resource 'OpenVPN client configuration file or installer package,' which distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_openvpn_client_export_configs that list existing configs. The added sentence about generating downloadable client configuration reinforces 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.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description clearly implies this tool is for generating a new client configuration or installer package for a pfSense OpenVPN server. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or refer to alternatives (e.g., search_openvpn_client_export_configs), so it earns a 4 rather than a 5.

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