pve_acme_account_create

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

With no annotations, the description discloses that the tool is a mutation, is dry-run by default, and requires confirm=True to actually execute. However, it does not fully describe side effects (e.g., irreversible registration) or error scenarios. The 'Smoke-confirm' hint is cryptic.

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 very short with two sentences and a fragment. It is concise but the 'Smoke-confirm' part is unclear. It could be slightly more structured but avoids unnecessary verbosity.

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?

The output schema exists, so return values are covered elsewhere. However, the description lacks details on parameter dependencies, typical workflow, and relation to sibling tools. For a 6-parameter mutation with dry-run complexity, more context is needed.

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 only 17%, and the description does not explain most parameters (contact, tos_url, directory, etc.). It only mentions 'name in body' implicitly. The description fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.

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's purpose: 'register a new ACME account with the CA'. This is a specific verb and resource, and it distinguishes from sibling ACME tools like delete, update, and cert operations.

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 a usage pattern (dry-run first, then confirm=True to execute) but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pve_acme_account_update or pve_acme_account_delete. No exclusion conditions are given.

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