create_address_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 of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention idempotency, side effects, authentication requirements, or what happens on duplicate IPs. The return format is described, but safety and mutability traits are missing.

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 description is structured with Args, Returns, and Example sections. It is longer than minimal but every part adds value: purpose, parameter explanations, return format, and a concrete example. No redundant sentences.

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?

Given the tool has 4 parameters (3 required) and an output schema, the description covers parameters, provides an example, and describes the return value. It is complete for a creation tool, though behavioral context is missing. The presence of an output schema in context reduces the need to explain return values, but the description does it anyway.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining each parameter: adom (ADOM name), name (object name), ip (with example), comment (optional). The return schema is also described in text. This adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.

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 explicitly states 'Create a host address object (single IP)', providing a specific verb and resource. The tool name includes 'address_host', and the description clarifies it's for single IP addresses, distinguishing it from siblings like create_address_fqdn or create_address_range.

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?

The description does not explicitly mention when to use this tool over alternatives. While the purpose 'single IP' implies the use case, there is no guidance on when not to use it or comparison with other address creation tools. The example provides context but not explicit usage rules.

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