Api policies mss xlsx retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered structurally. The description adds the useful fact that the output is an ANSSI-conformant xlsx, but it does not explain what 'filtered' means operationally or how the file is returned.

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?

A single short sentence with no filler, front-loading the export action and format. It is efficient, though it is arguably too sparse given the ambiguities left unresolved.

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 no-parameter export with no output schema, the description should at least clarify what is exported (policies vs applied controls) and that the result is a binary file. It states the format but leaves the subject ambiguity and the missing filters unexplained.

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 the usual baseline would be 4. But the description's claim of 'filtered' output implies filter parameters that do not exist in the schema, which can mislead an agent into looking for filter inputs; that reduces the value of the description here.

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 names a concrete verb (export) and a specific deliverable format (ANSSI MonServiceSécurisé xlsx), which tells an agent what the tool produces. However it calls the exported objects 'applied controls' while the tool name is scoped to policies, and it does not distinguish this from the sibling applied_controls_mss_xlsx_retrieve or policies_export_xlsx_retrieve, leaving the agent to guess which export to call.

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 choose this MSS export over policies_export_xlsx_retrieve or the applied-controls MSS sibling. The word 'filtered' hints at a scoping behavior but gives no condition or prerequisite for invoking the tool.

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