Instructions

Force a new exit IP on a dedicated proxy; open connections drop. 60-second cooldown per proxy. Shared proxies rotate per request instead (list settings or gateway username parameters).

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare destructive=true and non-idempotent, so the bar is lower, yet the description adds real value beyond them: the consequence ('open connections drop') and a rate limit ('60-second cooldown per proxy'). These are the exact traits an agent needs to sequence calls safely.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three tight clauses lead with the action and scope, then the side effect, then the rate limit, and finally the alternative. Every sentence earns its place with no redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, return values need no explanation; the description covers the action, its destructive side effect, the cooldown constraint, and the differing behavior of shared proxies. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There is a single proxy_id parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents it. The description adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides, making this a baseline 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Force a new exit IP on a dedicated proxy') and explicitly contrasts with the sibling behavior ('Shared proxies rotate per request instead'), letting an agent distinguish rotate from other proxy tools without opening a schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives clear context for use (dedicated proxy) and points to the alternative mechanism for shared proxies via 'list settings or gateway username parameters.' It stops short of naming a specific sibling tool to call, but the when-to-use boundary is well drawn.

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