acs_restart

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It merely states 'restart' without explaining potential downtime, impact on ongoing operations, whether it is equivalent to stop+start, or what the result/response looks like. This is a significant gap for a server-restart tool.

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, clear sentence with no wasted words. It is very concise, though somewhat under-specified for a tool with parameters. It avoids tautology but lacks additional context that would make it more helpful.

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?

For a restart tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It doesn't explain the operational effects (e.g., server downtime), return behavior, or any necessary context about how it differs from start/stop. The presence of optional parameters also suggests more guidance is needed.

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 input schema provides 100% description coverage for all three parameters (mass, port, silent). The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema already contains, so the baseline 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 verb '重启' (restart) and the resource 'miniACS 服务器' (miniACS server), specifying exactly what the tool does. It is unambiguous and distinguishes itself from siblings like acs_start and acs_stop by indicating a restart operation.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like acs_start or acs_stop. While restart could be implied as 'stop then start', there is no explicit context for when it should be preferred, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.

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