ncloud_pca_trim_ca

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

Without annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states the action but does not disclose side effects (e.g., permanent modification of the CRL), required permissions, or idempotency. This leaves the agent unaware of potential impacts.

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 with a clear structure: verb-object-purpose. No wasted words, and it efficiently communicates the core functionality.

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 important context such as what the CRL is, prerequisites (e.g., CA must exist), result of the operation, or differentiation from similar tools. For a simple tool, it provides only the bare minimum, leaving gaps in understanding.

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 one required parameter (caTag) described as 'CA tag value'. The description does not add any additional meaning or context beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline but provides no extra value.

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 specific verb 'trim' acting on 'expired certificates from the CRL' with the purpose 'to clean up the revocation list'. This distinguishes it from related sibling tools like ncloud_pca_rotate_crl or ncloud_pca_get_ca_crl.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as rotating the CRL or simply viewing it. There are no preconditions, dependencies, or scenarios where this tool is or is not appropriate.

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