Toggle SSH Password Access

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

The annotation 'openWorldHint' hints at side effects, but the description does not elaborate on behavioral details beyond the toggle. It does not clarify whether disabling password access affects existing sessions, whether the change is immediate, or if there are dependencies like environment state. The description adds minimal value beyond the annotation.

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 a single sentence of 12 words, conveying the core action without unnecessary detail. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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 (2 required parameters, no nested objects, output schema present), the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks context about prerequisites, effects on environment, or relationship to other SSH settings. It does not leverage the output schema to describe return values.

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 100%, with clear descriptions for 'env_id' and 'is_enabled'. The description adds no additional parameter meaning; it only restates the schema's boolean option. Baseline 3 is appropriate given that the schema already documents the parameters adequately.

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 action (enable/disable) and resource (SSH password-based access for an environment). It is specific and unambiguous, but it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'kinsta.environments.ssh.toggle' or 'kinsta.environments.ssh.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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as whether SSH must already be configured, or when disabling password access is recommended. Sibling tools for SSH configuration and password management exist, but no comparisons are given.

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