Replace the enabled set of Scaleway Audit Trail alert rules

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, but the description adds valuable behavioral details: the operation is atomic, an unknown rule ID rejects the whole request (no partial application), and it requires confirm=true. It also explains the permission requirements beyond what annotations provide. No contradiction between description and 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 action and key distinction. It includes a live-verified date, error behavior, and permission troubleshooting—all in a few sentences without redundancy.

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 has 3 parameters, no output schema, and annotations, the description covers the purpose, usage guidelines, parameter semantics, error behavior, and permissions thoroughly. It provides a complete picture for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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%, yet the description adds crucial semantic context: e.g., 'after this call, exactly the listed rules are enabled and every other preconfigured rule is disabled - including ones you did not mention.' This clarifies the meaning of the enabled_alert_rule_ids array and the confirm parameter's role in preventing accidental misuse.

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: 'Atomically replace the COMPLETE set of enabled preconfigured alert rules'. It uses specific verb 'replace' and resource description, and differentiates itself from the sibling tool 'scaleway_audit_set_alert_rules_enabled' by highlighting the full-replace vs additive semantics.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool: 'Prefer scaleway_audit_set_alert_rules_enabled (additive) unless you genuinely want full-replace semantics, e.g. syncing to a declared state.' It also mentions the requirement for confirm=true and the needed permissions, giving clear context for usage.

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