ncloud_edge_provision_certificate

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool registers a certificate from Certificate Manager to Global Edge, but it doesn't mention side effects (e.g., overwriting existing certificates), required permissions, or idempotency. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the 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?

Description is a single sentence with 16 words, containing no fluff. It efficiently communicates the core action and context, earning every word.

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 description lacks information about the return value or output, which is especially important since there is no output schema. It doesn't mention whether the operation is asynchronous or any expected response format. Given the moderate complexity and absence of output schema, the description is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add any extra meaning or clarification for the parameters beyond what the schema already provides. It is adequate but doesn't enhance understanding.

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?

Description clearly states the action (provision/register), source (Certificate Manager), destination (Global Edge), and purpose (custom domains). It effectively distinguishes from similar sibling tools like ncloud_register_external_certificate by specifying the source. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with siblings.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It doesn't specify prerequisites (e.g., existing certificate in Certificate Manager) or contexts where this tool is appropriate. No exclusions or when-not-to-use information.

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