ncloud_edge_update_certificate_tls

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds no additional behavioral context such as whether the change takes effect immediately, whether it affects live traffic, or the interaction constraint between the two profile/version fields beyond what the schema already documents.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no waste. It is appropriately sized for a simple three-parameter update, though it could have used a second short clause to add the constraint or sibling routing at negligible cost.

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 simple mutation with full schema coverage and annotations covering idempotency/safety, and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It misses the cross-field constraint (STRICT vs TLS_ALL_VERSIONS) already in the schema and does not mention it, but the core call is understandable.

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 two enum parameters fully documented, so the description need not compensate. It names the two mutable fields, which aligns with the schema but adds no format or constraint detail beyond it. Baseline 3 applies.

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 states a specific verb ('Update') and resource ('TLS version and cipher profile of a Global Edge certificate slot'), which is clear and actionable. However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings like ncloud_edge_add_certificate_to_slot or ncloud_edge_remove_certificates_from_slot, leaving the agent to infer the boundary.

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 indication of when to use this tool versus slot-mutating siblings, nor any prerequisites (e.g., slot must already exist and contain a certificate). The agent gets no routing guidance.

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