list_dhcp_blackwhite_list

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, which already signals a safe read operation. It does not describe the response format, the effect of ip_type, or any edge cases, so it relies entirely on the annotation for safety disclosure.

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 a single concise phrase that states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is appropriately front-loaded and easy to parse, though it is minimal.

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 low complexity (one optional parameter), the readOnlyHint annotation, and the presence of an output schema, the description is minimally sufficient but adds no context about the contents or behavior of the black/white list. It does not mention the ip_type filter or any usage notes, so it is not fully contextual.

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?

The schema fully documents the ip_type parameter with a description ('v4' or 'v6'), so the description's lack of parameter detail is acceptable. The parameter is optional and has a default, and the description contributes nothing further, yielding a baseline score.

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 '列出 DHCP 黑白名单' clearly states a list operation on the DHCP black/white list with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_wireless_blackwhite_list by explicitly scoping to DHCP.

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 versus alternatives. The description simply states the action and does not mention any conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions relative to other list tools.

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