getCustomerAutomationCampaigns

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it says nothing about side effects, permissions, read-only nature, pagination, or return behavior. The tool could be a read operation or something else, with no transparency.

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?

Two words is under-specification, not efficient conciseness. No structure, no front-loaded key information, and no value beyond the tool name.

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?

For a tool with two parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description fails to provide essential context such as required inputs, what is returned, or any filtering behavior. It is far from complete enough for an agent to select and invoke confidently.

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 description adds no parameter meaning; customerId is undocumented and campaignType's schema description is truncated ('by a '). At 50% schema coverage, the description should compensate, but it is silent on both parameters.

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?

Description 'Get automation' is a vague, truncated restatement of the tool name rather than a precise function. It does not specify that it retrieves customer automation campaigns, nor does it differentiate from siblings like getCampaignsConfigurations or getCustomerCampaignsProgress.

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 given on when to use this tool versus the many sibling customer/getter tools. There is no context, prerequisites, or exclusions provided.

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