cloud_placegrps_get

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, any side effects, or permission requirements. The note about ID resolution is useful but does not address the tool's behavior post-execution.

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 reasonably concise. It starts with the core purpose, lists parameters, and adds a note. The note is necessary but could be more organized. Overall, it avoids redundancy and front-loads the primary action.

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?

No output schema is provided, so the description should explain return values, but it does not. The tool likely returns a placement group object; omitting this leaves agents without expected response format. The parameter resolution notes help, but the description is incomplete for a 'get' tool.

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%. The description adds meaning by specifying that project_id and region_id should be numeric and provides resolution steps. However, it does not elaborate on group_id or the optional parameters (extra_headers, etc.) beyond their names, leaving gaps.

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 'Get placement group', a specific verb and resource. Among sibling tools (cloud_placegrps_del, ls, new), 'Get' distinctly indicates retrieval of a single placement group, making the purpose 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?

The description implies usage for retrieving a specific placement group but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool over siblings like cloud_placegrps_ls. The note provides resolution steps for project and region IDs, but lacks when-not-to-use guidance.

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