Get IPs Count

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

No annotations. Description only mentions a 1000-count limit, but fails to disclose other behaviors such as pagination, what happens if count exceeds limit, or what 'available' means in 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?

Very concise: two short sentences with no wasted words. The critical constraint ('up to 1000') is front-loaded.

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?

Adequate for a simple count tool, but lacks details on return format, error handling, and interpretation of 'available'. No output schema, so description should provide more context.

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 descriptions cover all parameters (100% coverage). The description adds no extra semantic value beyond stating 'by parameters'. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 verb 'Get' and resource 'number of available IPs'. It specifies the scope 'by parameters' and a constraint 'up to 1000', which aids in differentiating from sibling tools like list-ips.

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 versus alternatives. Sibling list-ips could be used for listing actual IPs, but no comparison or exclusion is provided.

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