Create Domain Claim

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

Discloses that domain gets new DKIM keys and prior DNS records are invalid, and that a TXT record must be added. Lacks details on error conditions, time limits, or response format. Without annotations, the description carries the full burden and is moderately transparent.

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?

Single paragraph of 4 sentences, front-loading purpose and workflow. No filler, but could benefit from bullet points or clearer separation of steps.

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?

Covers the workflow and DNS requirement, but misses prerequisites (e.g., domain must be verified by another account) and fails to explain response structure or error handling. Given no output schema, more detail would improve completeness.

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?

All 6 parameters are described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description does not add meaningful context beyond the schema, so baseline of 3 is 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 clearly states it starts a claim for a domain already verified by another account, recreating it with new DKIM keys. This distinguishes it from create-domain and verify-domain-claim among siblings.

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?

Provides a clear workflow: start claim, display TXT record, use verify-domain-claim, poll get-domain-claim. Explicitly instructs to display the TXT record. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare with create-domain.

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