dynadot_get_auction_details

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

No annotations are present. The description implies a read operation but does not explicitly state read-only behavior, auth specifics beyond the access note, error responses, or other behavioral traits.

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 concise sentences with no redundancy. The purpose is front-loaded, making it easy to parse.

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 output schema and only one parameter, the description fails to clarify what 'details' includes or what the return structure is. The note on required access adds some context but overall is insufficient.

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 0%, and the description provides no additional meaning for the 'auctionId' parameter, such as format or example values.

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 verb 'Get details' and resource 'single auction' are specific and clear. It distinguishes from siblings like dynadot_get_auction_bids and dynadot_get_backorder_auction_details.

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 note 'requires auction-API access' provides a prerequisite but does not state when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., dynadot_get_open_auctions) or when not to use it.

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