Api incidents detection retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing usable and in fact misdirects, implying a CSV/XLSX file payload where a JSON retrieve response is expected. It does not strictly contradict the annotations (a read-only export is consistent), so no contradiction flag, but it substitutes false behavioral signal for real disclosure.

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 brevity alone is not conciseness — the single sentence is wasted text that does not front-load purpose, scope, or return shape. Under-specification masquerading as brevity.

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 zero-parameter retrieve endpoint with no output schema places the entire explanatory burden on the description: what record domain is queried, what a detection retrieve returns (e.g. enum/choice values), and how it differs from the sibling export and breakdown endpoints. None of that is present; the description is entirely off-topic.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so no semantic burden falls on the description and the baseline applies. However, the only sentence present is irrelevant boilerplate about export mixins, adding no meaning at all rather than modestly supporting the call.

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 says "Generic export mixin for CSV/XLSX exports," which describes neither an incident detection retrieve operation nor anything the name/title promises. An agent reading it would expect a file export, not a read of detection-related incident data. This is boilerplate leakage from an internal Python mixin, actively misleading rather than merely vague.

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 indication of when to use this tool, when not to, or how it relates to the many sibling incident endpoints (incidents_list, incidents_detection_breakdown_retrieve, incidents_export_csv_retrieve, incidents_export_xlsx_retrieve). An agent has no basis to choose it over the export siblings it appears to describe.

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