Rotate proxy IP

rotate_ip

Acquires a new IP address by resetting the mobile proxy's cellular session. Use between scraping requests to avoid detection.

Instructions

Forces the mobile proxy to acquire a new IP address from the carrier (changes the cellular session). This is THE core mobile-proxy feature — agents use it between scraping requests, account creations, etc. Takes ~3-10 seconds and returns the new IP. Costs nothing — IP rotation is included in the subscription. Set verify=true to auto-check the new IP after rotation (adds ~1-2s). Only works on mobile proxies (proxy_type=0) — they are the only ones with a proxy_key.

Behavior5/5

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

Adds detailed behavioral context beyond annotations: timing (~3-10 seconds), cost (included), auto-check with verify (~1-2s), and mobile-only constraint. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences with zero waste. Core purpose first, then relevant details. Each sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Complete for a tool with no output schema: describes return value (new IP), timing, cost, constraints, and verification option. No gaps.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema already covers both parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by specifying proxy_id source (list_proxies) and behavioral consequence of verify (adds ~1-2s).

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Forces' and the resource 'mobile proxy to acquire a new IP address', and distinguishes from siblings by specifying it only works on mobile proxies (proxy_type=0).

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 when to use ('between scraping requests, account creations') and when not ('Only works on mobile proxies'). Does not directly name alternatives, but sibling context provides that.

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