Api security exceptions sankey data retrieve

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

The description says security exceptions can be 'viewed or edited,' implying write/edit behavior, but annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. It also does not disclose the sankey-data return behavior, so the description both contradicts and omits important behavioral context.

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 sentence, but it is boilerplate and under-specified rather than usefully concise. The sentence does not earn its place because it gives no actionable information beyond the tool name.

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 output schema, the description should at least explain that this returns sankey visualization data for security exceptions. Instead it only says the endpoint allows viewing or editing, which is misleading and leaves the return value and intended use 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?

There are zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics for the description to explain beyond the empty schema. Baseline 4 applies for a no-parameter tool.

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 only gives boilerplate 'API endpoint that allows security exceptions to be viewed or edited' and never mentions sankey data, charts, or retrieval. The name says sankey_data_retrieve, so the description does not clearly identify the tool's actual purpose or distinguish it from sibling security_exceptions retrieval/update tools.

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 endpoint versus the many sibling security_exceptions retrieve/list/update/export tools. It only states a generic view/edit capability, which is insufficient for selecting it correctly.

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