dynadot_domain_info

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

Discloses that IDN domain names are auto-punycoded, which is useful. However, no annotations are provided, and the description does not mention read-only nature, authentication needs, or error behavior. The burden is partially met.

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?

One efficient sentence with two clear pieces of information: what the tool does and a behavioral note. No wasted words.

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?

The description lacks details about return format, error scenarios, and output structure. Since there is no output schema, more context on expected output would be beneficial.

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 sole parameter 'domainName' has no schema description, but the description adds meaning by noting that IDN domains are auto-punycoded. This clarifies input handling beyond the schema.

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 clearly states it retrieves full details for a single domain including settings, contacts, and status. It distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on specific aspects like DNS or contacts, but it doesn't explicitly differentiate.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_dns, get_contact, etc. There is no context about prerequisites or when to prefer this over other domain info tools.

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