Api settings sso object retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing about authentication requirements, what the SSO object exposes, or whether it may fail when SSO is unconfigured, so it fails to contribute beyond structured fields.

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 one token long, but that brevity comes from under-specification rather than economy. There is no front-loaded sentence stating what it does or returns.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description must explain what is returned, and it does not. For a zero-parameter retrieve endpoint with many near-identical SSO siblings, the description leaves the agent unable to predict the response content or pick this tool confidently.

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 has zero parameters and the schema is complete (additionalProperties: false), so there is nothing for the description to clarify here. Baseline 4 applies.

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 is just the identifier 'api_settings_sso_object_retrieve' restated, with no verb or human-readable phrasing. It hints at retrieving an SSO settings object but doesn't say what that object contains or how it differs from sibling settings_sso_retrieve / settings_sso_info_retrieve / settings_sso_provider_retrieve.

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 guidance, no conditions, and no mention of the several closely named SSO siblings. An agent has no basis for choosing this over ciso_assistant_api_settings_sso_retrieve or ciso_assistant_api_settings_sso_provider_retrieve.

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