acedatacloud_get_service

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It adds value by stating 'No token required' and listing returned fields, but does not explicitly disclose read-only nature, error handling, or rate limits. It partially compensates but leaves gaps.

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, efficient sentence that lists all key aspects. No redundant words, front-loaded with the purpose. Perfectly concise for the information needed.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema (not shown), the description need not explain return values. It covers the essential input and behavior (no token required). It could mention what happens if the service is not found, but overall it is fairly complete for a simple get tool.

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 100% with a clear parameter description. The description does not add significant extra meaning beyond the schema; it says 'Get one service's full detail' but doesn't elaborate on the parameter format. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the verb 'Get', specifies the resource 'one service', and lists the exact details returned (title, description, type, unit, free_amount, cost). This differentiates it from sibling tools like acedatacloud_list_services (list multiple) and acedatacloud_get_pricing (focused on pricing).

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 implies use for retrieving full details of a single service, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like list_services. It mentions 'No token required' which hints at public access, but no when-not or exclusions are provided.

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