VPS_setPanelPasswordV1

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

No annotations provided. Description mentions the no-op for non-panel OS, but lacks details on side effects, auth requirements, or immediacy of changes. More behavioral context is needed for a mutation 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?

Three concise sentences with front-loaded purpose. No wasted words; edge case and reference are efficiently included.

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?

Covers main action and edge case. Missing details on response format and prerequisites (e.g., VM must exist). Given simplicity and no output schema, it is mostly complete.

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 covers both parameters fully. Description adds a useful cross-reference for password requirements, providing extra meaning beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states the tool sets a panel password for a virtual machine, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like VPS_setRootPasswordV1 by focusing on panel password.

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?

Describes when to use (configure panel credentials) and notes a harmless edge case (non-panel OS). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from related tools like setRootPassword or setHostname.

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