Create database remote connection

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

Annotations indicate this is a mutating but non-destructive operation. The description adds that it grants remote access, which is helpful context, but it does not disclose side effects, such as whether existing connections are affected or whether a database user must already exist. No contradiction with 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?

The description is very concise: one short line states the purpose, and a second line provides the essential constraints for IP and database name. No filler or redundant repetition of the tool name.

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 three-parameter tool the description covers most of what an agent needs, but the required username parameter is not explained anywhere. There is also no mention of prerequisites such as the database user existing or how the connection interacts with existing database settings. This is adequate but has clear gaps.

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?

The schema already describes 'ip' and 'name' with meaningful detail, and the description reinforces those meanings. However, the required 'username' parameter is effectively unexplained both in the schema ('username parameter') and in the description, leaving an important gap. Since schema coverage is high, the baseline 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?

The description clearly states the tool's function: allowing a remote host to connect to a specified database. The resource and action are understandable from the name and description, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like hosting_deleteDatabaseRemoteConnectionV1 or hosting_listDatabaseRemoteConnectionsV1.

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?

The description gives useful context about how to specify the IP and database name, but it does not state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor when not to use it. The 'list databases endpoint' reference provides a prerequisite, but there are no explicit exclusions or sibling routing.

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