get_freeplug_id

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It lists error codes ('inval', 'nomem', etc.) which is helpful, but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, if authentication is needed, or what side effects occur. The contradictory 'list' wording further obscures behavior.

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 (one line plus error codes), but the core statement is ambiguous and undermines clarity. Conciseness without clarity is not effective.

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?

Despite simple schema (1 param) and existence of output schema, the description fails to explain the tool's purpose correctly, what a Freeplug is, or what the output represents. It is wholly insufficient for an agent to use correctly.

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 has 0% coverage for parameter descriptions, and the description adds no meaning to the 'id' parameter. It does not explain what 'id' represents (e.g., device identifier) or its format.

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?

Description says 'Returns the list of Freeplug' but requires an 'id' parameter, creating contradiction about whether it returns a list or a single item. It identifies the resource (Freeplug) vaguely but does not clarify the scope or distinguish from sibling 'get_freeplug'.

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Given the sibling 'get_freeplug' likely lists all freeplugs, the description does not explain that this tool is for a specific ID or how they differ.

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