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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering safety traits. The description adds that the tool returns both current state and related servers, but it does not explain what 'related' means or disclose any other behavior, so it adds only modest context beyond 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.

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

A single sentence that front-loads the verb and resource without any filler. Every phrase earns its place: 'current state', 'related servers', and 'one s&box dedicated-server ID' all carry useful 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?

The tool has low complexity: one required parameter, an output schema, and rich annotations. The description is sufficient for an agent to invoke it correctly. The only minor gap is that 'related servers' is left undefined, though this does not block correct usage.

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 coverage is 0%, but the sole parameter 'id' is meaningfully clarified by the description's 's&box dedicated-server ID' phrasing. The schema already provides the pattern and required status, and with only one self-explanatory parameter, the description sufficiently compensates.

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 uses a specific verb ('read') and names the exact resource ('current state and related servers' for one s&box dedicated-server ID). It clearly signals singular lookup by ID, which differentiates it from search_servers and the other sibling tools.

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 provides clear context: use this when you have a specific server ID and need its current state plus related servers. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the singular-ID framing makes the intended usage obvious relative to the sibling list.

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