hcloud_primary_ip_unassign_action

Destructive

Unassign a Primary IP from a Hetzner Cloud resource. Use this to detach an IP from a server; the server must be powered off first.

Instructions

Unassign a Primary IP from a resource

Unassign a Primary IP from a resource.

A Server must be powered off (status off) in order for this operation to succeed.

A Server requires at least one network interface (public or private) to be powered on.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructive=true and readOnly=false, and the description goes well beyond them by disclosing the required server state and a table of operation-specific 422 errors (server_not_stopped, server_is_load_balancer_target). This tells the agent exactly why a call would fail before it tries.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The precondition and error table are front-loaded and useful, but the opening sentence is duplicated in prose and as a markdown link line, and the anchor-link noise adds no information. Minor redundancy only.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a destructive action tool with no output schema, the description covers preconditions and failure modes well. It stops short of saying what the call returns (an Action object, per the `wait` polling parameter), which is the one remaining ambiguity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both the Primary IP `id` and the `wait` polling flag are already documented in the schema. The description adds nothing about parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Unassign a Primary IP from a resource'), which directly contrasts with the sibling hcloud_primary_ip_assign_action. An agent can identify the operation without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states the precondition that the target Server must be powered off and that a Server needs at least one network interface to be powered on, which is real when-to-use guidance. It does not, however, route the agent to alternatives (e.g. poweroff_action) or state what to do when no server is attached.

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