confirm_changes

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose two real behaviors: the rollback safety net is removed and the config is persisted locally. However it omits irreversibility, scope of persistence, and any permission/auth context, leaving meaningful gaps for a commit-like 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?

One compact sentence with the action front-loaded and the side effect trailing; every clause carries information and nothing is padded.

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 no explanation, and the workflow position is clear. Still, the lone parameter is unexplained and the behavioral profile of a config-committing action is thin, so the definition is adequate rather than 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 description coverage is 0% and the single 'name' parameter (default 'router') is never mentioned or explained in the description. An agent cannot tell from the text what 'name' selects or how it interacts with the saved config, so the description fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

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?

States a specific verb+resource pair ('Disarm the rollback') with a concrete effect ('saves the new config locally'), which clearly separates it from rollback_now and apply_changes even though those siblings are not named. It is more precise than most, but stops short of explicitly contrasting with the sibling tools.

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?

'after verifying the change works' supplies a clear trigger condition that places this step in the change workflow, implicitly distinguishing it from rollback_now. There is no explicit when-not or named alternative, so it is short of a 5.

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