ncloud_add_network_acl_outbound

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

Annotation destructiveHint: false tells the agent this is not destructive, but the description adds no further behavioral context. It does not mention whether rules are inserted with priorities, whether duplicates are allowed, or what happens on success. The description relies entirely on the annotation for safety disclosure.

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 a single, concise sentence that gets straight to the point with no filler. It is appropriately sized for the tool's simple purpose.

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 mutation tool with 8 parameters, no output schema, and minimal annotation, the description is too sparse. It does not hint at expected response content, any ordering constraints, or typical usage prerequisites. The one-line description leaves significant contextual gaps for an agent to make informed decisions.

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 100% — all 8 parameters have individual descriptions (e.g., protocolTypeCode, ruleActionCode, ipBlock). The tool description itself adds no parameter meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies as the schema carries the semantic load.

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 verb 'Add' and the resource 'outbound rule to a Network ACL', which distinguishes it from the inbound variant at a basic level. However, it does not explicitly reference sibling tools or provide additional context about what an outbound rule entails.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool as opposed to alternatives like ncloud_add_network_acl_inbound or ncloud_remove_network_acl_outbound. Usage is only implied by the tool name and the word 'outbound'.

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