Returns the current organization's external_id and HCTI writer_role_arn. Use external_id as sts:ExternalId and writer_role_arn as Principal.AWS in the AWS IAM role trust policy when configuring S3 storage. No storage destination ID is required.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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 useful behavioral context by naming the exact returned values and clarifying that no storage destination ID input is needed. It does not contradict the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, front-loads the return values, and immediately follows with actionable usage instructions. Every sentence earns its place with no filler or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

This is a low-complexity, zero-parameter, read-only tool with an output schema and rich annotations. The description fully covers what is returned and how to apply those values, so nothing needed for correct invocation is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With zero parameters and 100% schema coverage, the schema leaves little to explain. The description still adds value by explicitly stating 'No storage destination ID is required,' which prevents confusion with sibling tools that do require a destination ID.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Returns the current organization's external_id and HCTI writer_role_arn.' It also distinguishes itself from storage-destination-specific tools by noting 'No storage destination ID is required,' making its purpose unmistakable.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives clear context for when to use this tool: when configuring S3 storage, specifically using external_id as sts:ExternalId and writer_role_arn as Principal.AWS. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use it, but the 'No storage destination ID is required' line implies a distinction from get_storage_destination.

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