ncloud_create_load_balancer

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

The description discloses the creation behavior and the dryRun preview feature, which adds some value beyond the annotations (destructiveHint: false). However, it lacks details on side effects, return values, or what happens on success, making it insufficient for a mutation tool with no output schema.

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 very concise, consisting of two short sentences. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and a key feature (dryRun). While concise, it could be slightly more informative 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?

Given the tool's complexity (10 parameters, 4 required, no output schema), the description is insufficient. It fails to provide an overview of what a load balancer instance is, how the parameters interact, or what the expected output is. The schema covers parameter details, but the tool-level context is lacking.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage for all parameters, so the schema already provides detailed semantics. The tool description does not add any additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema offers, resulting in a baseline score.

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 'Create' and the resource 'load balancer instance', making the purpose unambiguous. It also mentions the dryRun preview feature. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like ncloud_create_lb_listener or ncloud_change_lb_config, though the resource name helps distinguish.

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 provides minimal usage guidance, only mentioning the dryRun option for preview. It does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., modifying an existing load balancer) or mention prerequisites like having a VPC and subnets ready.

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