ncloud_set_block_storage_protection

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond the annotations. It does not explain that return protection prevents deletion, that the tool can enable or disable protection, or any side effects. While annotations provide idempotentHint and destructiveHint, the description itself is a one-liner that offers no additional insight into the tool's behavior.

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 sentence, concise and directly to the point. It contains no wasted words, though it could include more contextual detail without becoming verbose.

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?

The tool is simple, has full parameter documentation, and annotations cover idempotency and non-destructiveness. However, the description does not explain what 'return protection' means or its implications, leaving a gap in understanding for an agent unfamiliar with the domain. It is minimally adequate but not comprehensive.

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 coverage is 100% with both parameters clearly described (e.g., 'true to protect, false to unprotect' for isReturnProtection). The tool description does not add any extra meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 stands.

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 'Set return protection for a block storage instance' clearly specifies the verb (set), the resource (block storage instance), and the attribute (return protection). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like ncloud_nks_set_return_protection and ncloud_set_nas_volume_return_protection by naming the exact resource type.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention related tools or provide any contextual hints about when setting return protection is appropriate, making it purely declarative without usage direction.

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