get_group_victims

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint: true, indicating a safe read operation, which the description aligns with. However, it adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., what happens for unknown groups, response structure beyond the output schema, or any rate limits). Since the output schema exists, the description need not explain return format, but it offers no extra operational details.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. Every word contributes to the meaning, and it is appropriately sized for a tool with one parameter and an output schema.

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 simple read-only tool with one well-described parameter and an output schema, the description is functionally sufficient. However, it lacks any guidance on distinguishing it from the many sibling tools that also return victim data (e.g., get_country_victims, get_victims_by_date), which would make it more complete for an agent deciding among them.

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 100% because the single parameter 'group' has a description ('Name of the ransomware group'). The tool description adds nothing beyond that, so it meets the baseline but does not enrich the parameter meaning with examples, constraints, or edge cases.

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 a specific verb ('Get'), a precise resource ('all victims'), and the scoping condition ('claimed by a specific ransomware group'). This makes its purpose unambiguous and distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_all_groups or get_recent_victims, which target different resources or filters.

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 usage when a user knows a ransomware group name, but it does not explicitly mention when to choose this over related tools such as search_victims or get_victims_by_date. There is no reference to alternatives or exclusion conditions, so an agent must infer the appropriate context.

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