Instructions

Update nameservers for a domain. Common options: Cloudflare (ns1/ns2.cloudflare.com), Vercel (ns1/ns2.vercel-dns.com), Netlify (dns1/dns2.p01.nsone.net). Requires management token.

nameserversYesList of nameserver hostnames (e.g., ['ns1.cloudflare.com', 'ns2.cloudflare.com'])
Behavior3/5

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

Discloses authentication requirement ('Requires management token') and valid input patterns through examples. Missing safety warnings about delegation changes given no annotations cover destructive/mutation hints.

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 with zero waste: first states purpose, second provides examples and prerequisites. Information density is high and front-loaded.

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?

Covers purpose, inputs, and auth, but omits return value description (no output schema exists) and critical safety context about DNS delegation changes for a high-impact operation.

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?

Despite 100% schema coverage, description adds concrete provider-specific examples (ns1.cloudflare.com, etc.) not present in schema, clarifying expected parameter formats.

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?

Clear verb 'Update' with specific resource 'nameservers for a domain'. Distinct from sibling get_nameservers (read operation) and DNS record management tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Provides concrete examples of when to use (Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify delegation) but lacks explicit 'when not to use' compared to update_dns_record or warnings about DNS propagation downtime.

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