trmnl_get_plugin_setting_details

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and openWorld, so safety is covered structurally. The description adds nothing beyond restating the HTTP route (GET /api/plugin_settings/{id}/details), giving no context on scope, permissions, or what kind of 'details' are returned.

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?

Very short and front-loaded with the verb+resource. The second line is a raw endpoint reference that conveys little to a model choosing between tools, but nothing is bloated.

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, yet the description never explains what 'details' contains — configuration fields, files, logs, or metadata. Combined with a nested-parameter schema at 50% coverage, the definition is too thin for correct invocation and interpretation.

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?

Schema coverage is only 50%, so the description should compensate for the undocumented parameters. Instead it says nothing about the nested 'path.id' object or the 'profile' default, both of which are only described inside the schema.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Get plugin setting details'), which is more than a tautology. However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings such as trmnl_get_plugin_setting_data, trmnl_get_plugin_setting_files, or trmnl_get_plugin_configuration — 'details' is undefined, leaving the agent unsure what payload this returns versus those.

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 prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives among the many get_plugin_setting_* siblings. The agent must infer selection 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.
