Api cwes object retrieve

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is already carried by structured data. However, the description's claim that CWEs can be "edited" through this endpoint points the opposite direction from a read-only retrieve, and it says nothing about what is returned, whether 404s occur, or what a CWE record contains.

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 a single short, front-loaded sentence with no padding, so it is efficient in size. The problem is that almost all of that brevity comes from generic Django REST Framework boilerplate rather than content specific to this tool.

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 one-parameter read tool with annotations and no output schema, the description still needs to say what a CWE is in this system, what the id looks like, and how this differs from cwes_retrieve/cwes_object_retrieve. None of that is present, so an agent cannot confidently choose or invoke it.

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 description coverage is 0% for the single required 'id' parameter, and the description never mentions it. The agent must guess that 'id' is the CWE identifier (and whether it is a numeric pk or a reference string) with no help from either the schema or the prose.

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 sentence "API endpoint that allows CWEs to be viewed or edited" largely restates the title and resource name without a precise verb for this specific operation. It does not distinguish this tool from its many obvious siblings such as ciso_assistant_api_cwes_retrieve, ciso_assistant_api_cwes_object_retrieve, ciso_assistant_api_cwes_list, or ciso_assistant_api_cwes_update.

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 guidance on when to use this versus the near-identical siblings (cwes_retrieve, cwes_object_retrieve, cwes_list, cwes_autocomplete_retrieve). The agent must infer from the tool name alone that this fetches a single CWE by id.

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