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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It states the action is permanent, which is good. However, it omits details like required permissions, side effects beyond removal, or whether the operation can be undone (implied permanent). Lacks depth for a delete operation.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, no filler. Every sentence is informative and concise.

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?

No output schema, so description should hint at return value. It doesn't mention what the response looks like (e.g., success confirmation). However, it implicitly guides the user to use list endpoints to get the correct parameters, which aids context. Missing a note on prerequisites or error handling.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value for 'ip' and 'name' by specifying they must be exact matches from list endpoints. However, 'username' is only described as 'username parameter' with no added context, which is minimal improvement.

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?

Clearly states it 'permanently removes a remote-access rule' and 'revoking the given host's remote access.' The action (delete) and resource (remote connection) are specific, and it distinguishes from siblings like create or list.

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?

Explains when to use: to remove a remote-access rule. Provides clear instructions on identifying the rule using the IP parameter exactly as returned from the list endpoint. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, though for a deletion tool this is less critical.

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