VPS_installMonarxV1

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

No annotations are provided, yet the description lacks details on potential side effects, permissions required, or whether the installation is synchronous or async, leaving important behavioral aspects unclear.

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 efficiently structured with only a few sentences, though the link and general explanation of Monarx add some useful context without being overly verbose.

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 simple install tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but could be improved by mentioning prerequisites, return values, or error states.

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% with one parameter (virtualMachineId) described as 'Virtual Machine ID'. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline.

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 tool installs 'Monarx malware scanner on a specified virtual machine', using a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes it from sibling VPS_uninstallMonarxV1.

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 mentions 'Use this endpoint to enable malware protection on VPS instances', which implies when to use, but does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternatives like VPS_uninstallMonarxV1.

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