get_storage_volume_info

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Get details', implying a read-only operation, but fails to mention permissions, side effects, or any constraints. The description is insufficient for understanding the tool's behavior beyond the surface level.

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 very concise, using a single sentence followed by a parameter list in docstring format. It contains no unnecessary fluff and is easy to parse. However, the extreme brevity sacrifices detail.

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 tool has an output schema, so return value explanation is not needed. With three required parameters and a generic purpose, the description provides minimal but adequate context for basic usage. However, it lacks behavioral and parameter details, making it only minimally complete.

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 description lists the three parameters (node, storage, volume) with minimal explanations like 'The node name', which essentially repeat the parameter names. Given 0% schema description coverage, the description should add more meaning, but it does not provide context on what values are acceptable or how these identifiers are structured.

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 'Get details about a specific volume in storage', specifying the action (get) and the resource (volume details). However, it does not distinguish this tool from sibling tools like get_storage_config or get_storage_rrddata, which also retrieve storage-related information.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or context. It simply states the basic action without guiding the agent on selection.

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