Orders_getOrderItems

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

With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral context. It clarifies that the operation is a read ('Returns') and that execution happens in the Kuudo deployment, not locally. But it omits any mention of required permissions, output shape, or data scope, so the disclosure is only partial.

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?

The description is short, but the first phrase 'Catalog entry' is noise and the purpose statement comes last. All useful information could be condensed into one clearer statement.

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 and no annotations, the description needs to explain what 'detailed order item information' includes and how to specify the order. It does neither, and it fails to address likely concerns such as pagination, restricted data, or relation to related Orders_* tools.

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 schema exposes zero properties, yet the description says 'for the order that you specify.' It never names the parameter (e.g., order ID) nor explains where the order comes from, so an agent cannot determine how to supply the required selection. This undercuts the 0-param baseline.

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 states a specific action ('Returns detailed order item information') and scope ('for the order that you specify'), so an agent can identify the resource it targets. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like Orders_getOrderItemsBuyerInfo, and the opening 'Catalog entry' adds no semantic value.

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 guidance is given about when to use this tool over alternatives such as Orders_getOrder or Orders_getOrderItemsBuyerInfo. The only extra context is environmental ('Runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here'), which is not a usage condition.

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