Stop Docker Project

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Stop' without explaining side effects, whether the operation is safe, if it requires a running project, or what happens to data. This is a significant gap for a mutating 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?

The description is extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It simply repeats the title without earning its place in the description. It lacks the substance needed to be genuinely 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 tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It doesn't explain what 'stopping' does to the Docker project, whether data is persisted, any prerequisites, or what the response looks like. The agent is left with only the bare action.

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 clear descriptions for 'vm_id' (Virtual machine ID) and 'project_name' (Project name). The text description adds nothing beyond the schema, which is acceptable given the high coverage, so a 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 'Stop a Docker project.' is a direct restatement of the title 'Stop Docker Project'. It states the action clearly but adds no new information, making it a tautology. It does distinguish from siblings via the verb 'stop', but not explicitly beyond that.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives like vps_docker_start, vps_docker_restart, or vps_docker_delete. There are no prerequisites, context, or examples. The description gives no directional information at all.

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