aedt_get_profile

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

No annotations are present, so the description must carry full burden. It only states it returns data, implying a read operation, but lacks details on side effects, required permissions, or what constitutes 'solve profile data'. Behavioral expectations are insufficiently disclosed.

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 a single sentence with no wasted words, which is concise. However, it is too brief for a tool with no annotations and minimal schema context, sacrificing completeness for brevity.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values need not be described. However, with only one parameter and no annotations, the description should provide more context about the parameter's behavior (e.g., what happens when name is null). It is adequate but not complete.

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 only parameter 'name' is partially explained by the description mentioning 'for a setup or the active profile context', which implies the parameter identifies a setup. However, with 0% schema description coverage, more explicit mapping between parameter and its usage (e.g., null meaning active profile) would improve clarity.

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 action ('Return') and the resource ('solve profile data'). It specifies the context ('for a setup or the active profile context'), which distinguishes it from other data retrieval tools like aedt_get_setup_properties or aedt_get_solution_data, though not explicitly.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or exclude cases. With many siblings, explicit usage guidance is missing.

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