Ordersv2_getOrder

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It usefully reveals that the tool executes in the Kuudo deployment rather than the current environment, which is a meaningful operational fact, and 'Returns' implies a non-destructive read. However, it does not clarify what 'Catalog entry' means, what data is returned, or whether any special authorization or context is required.

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 and front-loads the most distinctive fact about the tool ('Runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here'). The phrase 'Catalog entry' adds ambiguity rather than signal, but overall the description wastes very few words.

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 with no output schema and no annotations, the description is too thin to allow confident invocation. It omits how to specify the order, what response shape to expect, and how this tool differs from the near-identical Orders_getOrder sibling. The deployment note is helpful but insufficient on its own.

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 input schema defines zero parameters but allows additional properties, and the description says 'the order that you specify,' implying an order identifier must be provided. The description does not name that parameter or explain how the order should be specified, leaving the agent to guess from the schema's open additionalProperties field.

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 clearly states the core action ('Returns the order') and the resource type, so an agent can understand this tool retrieves a single order. However, 'Catalog entry' is an unclear qualifier and the description does not differentiate this from the sibling tool Orders_getOrder, missing a chance to clarify the v2 distinction.

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 provided about when to use this tool versus the highly similar Orders_getOrder or Ordersv2_searchOrders siblings. The note 'Runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here' is a deployment constraint, but it does not explain the criteria for selecting this tool over alternatives.

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