Api policies updatables retrieve

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, yet the text says the endpoint allows records to be "viewed or edited". That is a direct conflict, and the description adds no real behavioral context (no auth requirement, no scope, no result shape).

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?

One short sentence, so there is no padding to trim, but it is a generated placeholder that carries no information about the actual endpoint. Brevity here comes from emptiness, not efficiency.

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?

With no parameters and no output schema, the description is the only place an agent can learn what an "updatables" retrieval returns. It instead describes a different entity and a mutation capability the tool does not have, leaving the call semantics undocumented.

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 per the baseline there is nothing for the description to document. The wrong resource name is a purpose problem rather than a parameter problem.

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 the endpoint lets "applied controls" be "viewed or edited", but the tool name and sibling set place this endpoint under `policies` (compare the parallel `ciso_assistant_api_applied_controls_updatables_retrieve`). It never explains what "updatables" means or what the endpoint actually returns, so an agent reading only the description would route to the wrong resource.

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 guidance, no prerequisite, and no mention of the near-identical siblings (`policies_retrieve`, `policies_list`, `applied_controls_updatables_retrieve`). The description is boilerplate that gives the agent nothing to discriminate on.

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