acedatacloud_get_apis_id

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose two real behavioral facts: account permission/ownership checks are enforced and only "public" permission is required. It does not state that the operation is read-only, nor describe pagination or error behavior for a tool whose schema exposes limit/offset.

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?

Three short, front-loaded sentences with no padding. Length is appropriate, though the first sentence is a null-information restatement of the name rather than an earning opener.

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 described, but the description leaves the tool's actual subject matter vague and says nothing about the two optional pagination parameters. For a get-by-id tool with three parameters and no annotations, this is under-specified.

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% across three parameters. The description mentions neither the required id nor the limit/offset pagination parameters, so it fails to compensate for the schema gap. The only hint is the word "id" embedded in the title-like phrase.

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?

"Get apis id" is essentially the tool name restated in broken grammar, so it barely states what the tool returns. The agent can infer it fetches a single API record by id (as opposed to the sibling acedatacloud_list_apis), but the description itself adds nothing on the resource or its contents.

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 gives a permission prerequisite ("Required permissions: public", backend account/ownership checks), which is useful context, but never says when to use this tool versus siblings such as acedatacloud_get_api_spec, acedatacloud_get_apis_usage, or acedatacloud_list_apis.

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