get_api_key_info

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

Describes a read operation with no side effects, appropriate for a no-parameter tool. However, no annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose potential authentication or rate limit details, leaving the agent with minimal behavioral context.

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?

Single, front-loaded sentence efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and scope with 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?

Given no output schema and zero parameters, the description adequately outlines the return content (permissions, IP whitelist). Could be slightly more detailed but sufficient for a simple info retrieval 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?

No parameters exist (schema is empty), and schema description coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info, earning the baseline score of 4 for zero-parameter tools.

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 uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'current API key information', listing examples like permissions and IP whitelist. Clearly distinguishes from sibling 'get_' tools which target different entities (account balance, instruments, etc.).

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., get_sub_api_keys). The purpose is clear from context, but lacks explicit when-not or alternative references.

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