ncloud_ses_create_snapshot

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

The annotation 'destructiveHint: false' indicates non-destructiveness, but the description adds no behavioral details such as potential time requirements, asynchronous behavior, or error conditions. Given the annotation presence, the bar is lower, but the description contributes nothing beyond the annotation.

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 no fluff. However, it could be slightly expanded to include key behavioral or prerequisite information without losing conciseness.

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 creation tool with full schema coverage and a non-destructive annotation, the description is too sparse. It lacks context about when to use, prerequisites, return values, and is insufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly without additional information.

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 clear descriptions for both parameters ('Object Storage bucket name for snapshot storage' and 'Cluster instance number'). The tool description does not add any additional meaning, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('Create a snapshot') and the target resource ('a Search Engine Service cluster'), distinguishing this tool from other SES snapshot operations like get_snapshot_history or get_snapshot_buckets.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., snapshot schedule, import), prerequisites (cluster must exist, bucket must exist), or scenarios (backup, migration). The description only states the action, not the context.

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