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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds minimal context by stating it gets 'attributes values' and scopes to 'your account', but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits like return format or error handling.

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 but repetitive, saying 'specific Private Network' twice in the two clauses separated by a hyphen. It could be tightened into a single clear sentence without losing meaning.

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 get-by-id tool, the description is minimally sufficient: it states the purpose and the resource. However, with no output schema and no parameter explanations in the description, it lacks details about expected request structure and response, leaving room for ambiguity.

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 0%, and the description only says 'by id' without naming the privateNetworkId parameter or explaining the required x-request-id header. This leaves the agent without clarity on how to populate parameters, especially with non-obvious fields like x-request-id.

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 retrieves a specific Private Network by its id, using the verb 'Get' with a specific resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like retrievePrivateNetworkList (list all) and retrievePrivateNetworkAuditsList (audits).

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: use when you need a specific Private Network's attributes by id. However, there is no explicit mention of when not to use it or alternatives such as the list or audits tools, which would be helpful.

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