Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered without the description. The description adds no behavioral context of its own, such as what happens on a missing id or whether the response is a single object.
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?
It is a single short sentence with zero waste, but the brevity comes from under-specification rather than disciplined editing. There is nothing to front-load because there is almost no content.
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 tool is simple, fully annotated, and has complete schema coverage, which lowers the bar, but with no output schema the description should at least hint at what is returned or how a not-found id behaves. As written it is barely adequate for an agent to call correctly with confidence.
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% and the single id parameter is documented in the schema as a resource identifier. The description contributes nothing beyond this, so the baseline 3 for full schema coverage 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 'Get one proxy' is essentially a restatement of the tool name and title, adding no distinguishing detail. It does convey a singular retrieve-by-identifier operation, but an agent learns nothing beyond the name itself.
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 on when to use this versus the obvious sibling list_proxies, nor any prerequisites or conditions. The singular 'one' weakly implies it needs an id, but nothing states that an alternative exists for bulk retrieval.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
