List Dhcp Servers

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds nothing beyond that — no note on scope (all servers vs. one), retention, or what configuration fields are surfaced. It neither contradicts nor enriches the annotations.

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?

A single short phrase with no filler, and the resource is front-loaded after the verb. It is efficient, though its brevity borders on under-specification rather than disciplined concision.

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 return values need not be explained, and there are no parameters to document. Given the tool's low complexity the description is close to sufficient, but it leaves scope and relationship to the other DHCP-list tools unstated.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the schema baseline is 4 and there is no parameter semantics the description could usefully clarify. Nothing here misrepresents the input contract.

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 gives a specific verb+resource in Chinese: "列出 DHCP 服务端配置" (list DHCP server configurations). This distinguishes it from adjacent siblings such as list_dhcp_leases, list_dhcp_static_bindings and list_dhcp_blackwhite_list, which cover different DHCP resources. It stops short of explicitly naming any sibling it is not, so it is clear but not maximally differentiated.

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?

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance; usage is only implied by the verb "list" and the DHCP-server resource. For a zero-parameter read tool the intended invocation is fairly obvious, but the agent must infer that leases/bindings/logs live in sibling tools rather than being told.

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