rollback_migration

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

Discloses atomicity and use of stored plan but lacks critical info on destructive nature, permission requirements, and side effects, especially given no annotations.

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?

Single efficient sentence with no wasted words, front-loaded with key verb and resource.

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?

Provides basic context of atomic rollback but omits failure behavior, idempotency, prerequisites, and relationship to sibling migration tools, leaving gaps for a complex tool.

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 covers 50% of parameters with descriptions; description adds no extra parameter semantics beyond what schema provides, meeting baseline adequacy.

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 verb 'roll back' and resource 'latest reviewed migration', distinguishing it from sibling migration tools like apply_migration_plan.

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?

Implies usage for rolling back a reviewed migration but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor mentions alternatives.

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