Reset DNS records

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the destructive nature is conveyed by structured data. The description adds that this resets the DNS zone to default/original records, which clarifies scope, but it does not mention side effects such as email record handling or irreversibility beyond what the annotations imply.

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 short and the main action is front-loaded. However, the second sentence largely paraphrases the first ('restore domain DNS to original configuration' vs 'reset DNS zone to default records'), making it slightly redundant.

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 core action is clear and the schema covers parameter meanings, while annotations cover destructiveness. Still, for a destructive DNS operation with no output schema, the description omits when to use it relative to snapshot restore/update/delete and does not explain how reset_email_records or whitelisted_record_types affect the reset behavior.

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 every parameter (sync, domain, reset_email_records, whitelisted_record_types) already has a documented meaning. The description adds no parameter-level details or relationships, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 ('Reset') and resource ('DNS zone'/'DNS records'), and clarifies the intended outcome: restore records to default/original configuration. It clearly differentiates from update/delete operations, though it does not explicitly name a sibling tool.

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 given about when to use this tool versus alternatives like DNS_restoreDNSSnapshotV1, DNS_updateDNSRecordsV1, or DNS_deleteDNSRecordsV1. The phrase 'Use this endpoint' restates the purpose rather than providing selection criteria, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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