get_vpn_vpn_id_config

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

Since annotations are absent, the description must convey behavioral traits. It states the action (get, implying read-only) and lists possible error codes, but does not disclose any side effects, authorization requirements, rate limits, or what happens on failure beyond error codes. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the obvious.

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 very short, consisting of one line and an error code list. While it is concise, it omits necessary information, making it under-specified rather than efficiently brief. The error code list is structured but not essential for core purpose.

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?

Given the output schema exists, the description needn't detail return values, but it fails to explain the tool's role among many VPN-related siblings. It does not clarify what a VPNServerConfig is, how vpn_id is used, or how this differs from get_vpn_client_config or other similar tools. The completeness is insufficient for effective selection.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain the parameter 'vpn_id'. It does not: the description only says 'Get the VPNServerConfig', leaving the parameter's meaning and format entirely unspecified. No value is added beyond the schema structure.

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 'Get the VPNServerConfig', which clearly indicates the tool returns a VPN server configuration. However, it does not differentiate from similar sibling tools like get_vpn_client_config or get_vpn_connection, which also retrieve VPN-related configurations.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no context about appropriate scenarios, and no mention of prerequisites or exclusions. The error codes list is the only extra information, but it does not help in deciding usage.

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