Api answers cascade info retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds nothing about what a 'cascade preview' returns, what side effects (if any) it inspects, or whether it requires an existing object — no extra behavioral context at all. Nothing contradicts the annotations, but the description contributes no value beyond them.

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?

It is short, but shortness here comes from under-specification rather than economy; the fragment conveys no actionable information. Nothing is front-loaded because nothing substantive is present.

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?

A read-only retrieve tool with one undocumented parameter, no output schema, and a dense field of near-identical cascade siblings needs at minimum the resource scope, what the preview contains, and how it differs from a plain retrieve. All three are absent.

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 single required parameter 'id' has zero schema description coverage, and the description never explains whether this is an answer id, a cascade node id, or a parent object id. With 0% coverage the description was the only place to compensate and it does not.

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 is a two-word fragment, 'Cascade preview:', which only vaguely gestures at returning preview information about a cascade. It never states a verb, what object is being cascaded, or how it differs from the ~40 sibling *_cascade_info_retrieve tools listed, so an agent cannot distinguish this from ciso_assistant_api_journeys_cascade_info_retrieve or the campaign/asset equivalents without reading the name.

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?

There is no when-to-use statement, no prerequisite, and no mention of alternatives. The word 'preview' faintly implies a pre-flight check, but nothing tells the agent when to call this instead of ciso_assistant_api_answers_retrieve or ciso_assistant_api_answers_object_retrieve, both of which are siblings on the same resource.

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