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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral fact beyond them: 'Returns no executable schema or recipe,' telling the agent the output is informational rather than actionable configuration. It does not, however, describe brand scoping or whether limits vary over time.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the scope of what is read and followed by the key negative constraint. No filler or restatement 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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the description adequately states what the tool reports and what it does not. It remains thin on the brandId requirement and on how the result should be used relative to the activate_/prepare_ siblings, leaving a gap for a capability-discovery tool in a large toolset.

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 single required parameter brandId has only a regex pattern, no semantic description. The description never mentions brandId or explains what scoping the capability query to a brand does, so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

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?

Specific verb+resource: 'Read availability of the fixed, already registered automation operations and workspace delivery limits.' This clearly says it is a capability/availability read. It stops short of distinguishing itself from close siblings like get_workspace_capabilities and get_intelligence_capabilities, which share the same 'get X capabilities' shape.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternative. The agent is left to infer whether this is a precondition for activate_* tools or a standalone introspection call, and how it differs from get_automation or get_workspace_capabilities.

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