npm_disable_redirection_host

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Disable' implies a state mutation, but the description says nothing about whether the change is reversible (the sibling enable_redirection_host suggests it is), what permissions are required, or what effect disabling has on live traffic through the host.

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 single short phrase is front-loaded and free of padding, but it is under-specified rather than genuinely concise. There is no wasted language, yet the brevity reflects missing information rather than efficient writing.

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 state-changing tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description omits any information about return values, permissions, or side effects. An agent has no basis to know what happens after the call succeeds or fails.

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?

There is a single required parameter (host_id) with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already explains it fully. The description adds no additional meaning about the parameter, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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 clear verb and resource (disable a redirection host), so it is not misleading or vague. However, it is essentially the tool name restated verbatim and offers no differentiation from the many other disable_* siblings (proxy host, dead host, stream) that share the exact same shape.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of prerequisites, and no reference to alternatives such as npm_enable_redirection_host for reversing the action. The agent must infer everything from the name alone.

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