enable_filter_rule

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

The description adds no behavioral information beyond the obvious action. Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, but the description does not disclose what happens if the rule is already enabled, error conditions, or rule matching behavior.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded, with no filler. It is appropriately concise for a simple operation.

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?

Despite having annotations and an output schema, the description is too minimal for a tool with an optional device parameter and a specific rule_id. It lacks prerequisites, selection criteria, and parameter semantics, so agents might misinvoke.

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 description does not explain rule_id or device. While rule_id is inferable from context, the device parameter is completely unexplained, leaving agents without guidance for a parameter.

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 states 'Enables a firewall filter rule' with a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from siblings like disable_filter_rule, update_filter_rule, and remove_filter_rule.

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 explicit when-to-use guidance is provided. The context implies it's for enabling a disabled rule, but no alternatives or exclusions are mentioned, despite sibling tools like disable_filter_rule existing.

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