hosts_get_one_host

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing beyond the HTTP endpoint. Auth requirements, error behavior for a missing/unknown UUID, and return shape are all unstated.

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 lines, front-loaded with the operative meaning; the raw endpoint path and "Tags: Hosts Controller" are spec boilerplate but not actively harmful.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description should say more about the returned host object and any access constraints. For a single-resource fetch it leaves the agent guessing about failure modes and response content.

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 single parameter is covered by the schema's type, format, and pattern, though schema description coverage is 0%. "By UUID" confirms the parameter's meaning but adds nothing about where the UUID comes from or what happens if it does not exist.

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 a host by UUID" names a specific verb and resource, and the "by UUID" qualifier separates it from the list tool hosts_get_hosts. It never explicitly names or contrasts with a sibling, but the scope is unambiguous.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus hosts_get_hosts, hosts_get_hosts_tags, or the single-host retrieval alternatives. The agent must infer usage purely from the name.

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