enable_interface

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds no additional behavioral context such as effect on traffic, requirement for admin privileges, or error behavior. It merely restates the action without disclosing traits beyond annotations.

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 concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. The supplementary note about the 'name' parameter is directly relevant and formatted as a separate note, keeping the main description clean. No unnecessary wording.

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 simple enable operation with annotations and an output schema present, the description covers the essential purpose and the required parameter. However, it omits guidance on the optional 'device' parameter and does not clarify the scope of 'interface' relative to sibling tools for wireless/wireguard, leaving some ambiguity for agents.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It does explain the 'name' parameter with exact-match guidance and concrete examples ('ether1', 'bridge', 'pppoe-out1'), which adds value. However, it provides no explanation for the 'device' parameter, leaving its meaning and usage unclear.

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 uses a specific verb+resource construction ('Enables an interface on the MikroTik device'), making the tool's function immediately clear. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like enable_wireless_interface and enable_wireguard_interface by referring to a generic interface.

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 that this is for general interfaces while other tools exist for wireless/wireguard, nor does it state prerequisites such as the interface needing to exist or be disabled. No exclusions or alternative references are given.

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