Api asset class cascade info retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and openWorld, so safety is covered. The description adds no behavioral context at all — not what a cascade preview contains, not whether it is computed server-side, not whether it reflects pending deletions. It does not contradict the annotations, but it contributes nothing.

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?

Two words are technically concise but the result is under-specification rather than tight writing; the text is a dangling fragment with a colon promising content that never follows.

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?

For a read tool with an undocumented required identifier and no output schema, the description provides no information an agent needs to invoke it correctly — which id to supply and what the preview returns.

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?

There is one parameter (id) with 0% schema description coverage, so the description carries the full burden — yet it says nothing about what the id identifies (asset class id? node id?) or its format. This is a total gap.

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 the fragment "Cascade preview:" which hints at a preview endpoint but never names the resource or the verb precisely; the asset-class subject only comes from the tool name. An agent cannot tell from the description what cascade is being previewed or what the response represents.

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 statement of when to call this versus ciso_assistant_api_asset_class_retrieve, asset_class_tree_retrieve, or the destroy sibling. No prerequisites, no exclusions, no context.

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