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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It explicitly marks the tool as destructive and warns about DNS resolution failures if the DS record is not removed. This is strong behavioral disclosure, though it could mention permission requirements or reversibility.

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: first states the action and its destructive nature, second adds a critical user requirement. No unnecessary words. Perfectly concise and structured for quick comprehension.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description adequately explains what it does and a key consequence. It could mention if the operation is reversible or provide next steps, but for a destructive action, the warning is sufficient.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage for the single required parameter zone_id. The description repeats the schema's description but adds no new semantic information beyond what's already visible in the schema. Baseline score 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 clearly states the tool disables DNSSEC for a zone and warns about a required post-action. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like dnssec_enable and dnssec_status by explicitly using 'disable' and marking it as destructive.

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 implies when to use (when disabling DNSSEC) but does not explicitly state when not to use or suggest checking status first via sibling tools. It could improve by advising to verify current DNSSEC state with dnssec_status before disabling.

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