Api task nodes 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, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing about what a "cascade preview" returns or what cascade is being simulated (deletion impact, node subtree, permissions?), leaving the actual behavior opaque.

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 not concise in a useful sense: it is an unterminated fragment with a trailing colon that reads like a truncated docstring. There is no front-loaded statement of purpose because the purpose is never stated.

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 tool that produces a cascade preview (a non-trivial computed result) with no output schema, an undocumented id parameter, and no annotations explaining the return, the description leaves nearly every question an agent would have unanswered.

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, so the description carries the full burden — and it says nothing. It does not clarify whether `id` is a task node id, a task template id, or a folder id, nor what format is expected.

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 the fragment "Cascade preview:" plus a dangling colon. Combined with the tool name it hints at previewing cascade consequences for a task node, but it never states a verb+resource relationship plainly and does not distinguish it from the many sibling cascade_info_retrieve tools (journeys, folders, sso, etc.).

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 tool, when not to, or how it differs from ciso_assistant_api_task_nodes_retrieve or the dozens of other cascade_info_retrieve endpoints. The agent must infer everything from the name alone.

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