Unraid API remoteAccess

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

The annotations already establish that this is a read-only, idempotent, non-destructive operation, so the description does not need to restate safety. The description does not add behavioral details such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or response shape, but it is consistent with the annotations and does not contradict them.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant wording. Every phrase contributes meaning by narrowing the resource to remote-access exposure and port-forwarding configuration.

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 zero-parameter read-only query, the description gives enough conceptual context for an agent to invoke the tool appropriately. It does not enumerate the exact fields in the response, and since there is no output schema, a slightly clearer statement of return content could improve completeness, but nothing critical is missing.

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 tool accepts zero parameters, and the empty schema fully documents that fact. With no inputs to explain, the description has no additional parameter semantics to provide, and the baseline of 4 applies.

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 a specific verb ('Get') and a specific resource ('remote-access exposure and port-forwarding configuration'), making the tool's purpose immediately clear. This resource scope is distinct from sibling tools like unraid_v4371_query_network, unraid_v4371_query_connect, or unraid_v4371_query_cloud, so an agent can select it without opening schemas.

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 this tool should be used when remote-access exposure or port-forwarding configuration is needed, but it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives or list any exclusions. Sibling tools such as query_network and query_connect are not mentioned, leaving the routing decision to the agent's inference.

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