odoo_cert_refresh

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

Discloses a failure condition (verify_ssl=True) and implies destructive behavior ('overwrite the pinned copy'), though no annotation provides safety cues. Could be more explicit about authorization or side effects.

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?

Two concise sentences with no redundant information; each sentence adds value.

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 simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description provides essential usage context and a failure mode, though it omits the return behavior.

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?

The sole parameter 'alias' is not described in the description; schema coverage is 0%, so the description fails to explain which connection is targeted, leaving ambiguity.

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 action ('Re-fetch the peer SSL certificate') and the resource ('for a connection'), and distinguishes from sibling odoo_cert_info by specifying 'overwrite the pinned copy'.

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?

Explicitly says when to use ('after the server's self-signed cert was rotated') and when it fails (if verify_ssl=True), providing clear guidance and an alternative scenario.

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