Api role assignments cascade info retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The phrase "Cascade preview" adds a small hint that the response describes downstream effects rather than the record itself, but says nothing about what is previewed or how large the response may be.

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 that shortness is under-specification rather than efficiency. The trailing colon implies cut-off content, so the one fragment present is not even well-formed.

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 read tool with no output schema, an undocumented required id, and no annotations explaining return shape — the description would need to carry the entire burden and supplies essentially nothing beyond two words.

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?

One required parameter (id) with 0% schema description coverage, and the description never says what the id identifies — a role assignment UUID, a role id, or a user id. The schema alone leaves the agent guessing which object to pass.

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?

"Cascade preview:" is a fragment that only echoes the name's cascade_info_retrieve, with a trailing colon suggesting truncated text. It hints that the call previews cascade effects for a role assignment but never states a verb+resource or how it differs from the many other *_cascade_info_retrieve siblings.

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 when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative is given. With dozens of near-identical cascade_info_retrieve siblings across every resource, an agent has nothing to route on and cannot tell whether this is a pre-delete check or a general introspection call.

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