Remove static DHCP reservation

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered by structured data. The description adds a genuinely important behavioral fact not in the schema defaults visible to a caller: that dry_run is TRUE by default, meaning the call is a no-op unless explicitly overridden. It does not describe auth requirements or side effects on active leases.

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?

Two short sentences, zero filler, with the destructive action front-loaded and the safety-relevant default immediately after. Nothing could be removed without losing signal.

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 two-parameter destructive mutation with full schema coverage and annotations carrying destructive/idempotent hints, plus no output schema to explain, the description covers the essentials including the dry_run safety default. Minor gaps remain around permissions and post-removal effects.

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 both parameters are documented structurally, establishing a baseline of 3. The description restates the dry_run default (already in the schema) and clarifies that mac is the lookup key, adding marginal meaning only.

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?

States a specific verb (Delete) and resource (static DHCP reservation) plus the keying field (by MAC). An agent can distinguish it from set_dhcp_host, get_dhcp_static, and remove_dns_host without inspecting schemas.

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?

Usage is implied by the name and verb, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of the setter counterpart (set_dhcp_host) for creating reservations, and no stated preconditions. Mentioning the dry_run default gives a hint about safe invocation, but routing guidance is absent.

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