acedatacloud_get_auto_recharge

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of conveying safety profile. The verb 'Get' correctly implies a read-only operation, and the mention of 'authoritative quote' gives some indication of what the response contains. However, it does not disclose any potential side effects, whether the quote is freshly generated or cached, or any permission/rate-limit implications.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence that directly states the tool's purpose and returned content. No filler or redundant wording is present.

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?

This is a simple one-parameter retrieval tool with an output schema present. The description sufficiently conveys the resource type and the fact that an authoritative quote is part of the result. Some additional detail about the distinction from other auto-recharge tools could be useful, but overall the description is adequate for this complexity level.

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?

The schema has a single parameter (config_id) with 100% description coverage ('Auto-recharge config UUID'). The tool description adds no meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate. There are no undocumented parameters to compensate for.

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 ('Get') with a clear resource ('auto-recharge configuration') and a meaningful scope qualifier ('one... and its authoritative quote'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_auto_recharges (which retrieves multiple) and quote_auto_recharge (which likely only provides pricing) by clarifying it retrieves both the configuration and its authoritative quote.

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 is provided about when to choose this tool over a sibling such as list_auto_recharges, quote_auto_recharge, or update_auto_recharge. The description implies it is a read operation but gives no explicit context, alternative names, or exclusions.

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