subscriptions_get_subpage_config

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The description only says 'Get subscription page configuration', which implies a read operation but does not state side effects, permissions, or what happens on success or failure. There is no information about return format, pagination, or whether the operation is safe.

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 short sentence, which is concise in length but under-specified. It does not front-load any scoping or usage constraints, and the brevity is not an asset because it leaves the tool's purpose ambiguous. The description is essentially a restatement of the tool name and adds little value.

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 an ambiguous purpose, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what 'subscription page configuration' means, what the return value is, or how it relates to the many sibling tools that appear to overlap. The agent lacks sufficient context to call this tool 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?

The schema has 100% description coverage, but the parameter description is only 'Short UUID', which is extremely minimal. The tool description adds no meaning beyond the schema – it does not clarify what the UUID refers to (subscription, subpage, config) or how it should be formatted. Baseline 3 applies when schema covers the parameter, but here the schema's own description is so thin that it provides almost no value, so a 2 is warranted.

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 a verb ('Get') and a resource ('subscription page configuration'), but the resource is vague and not clearly defined. There are closely related sibling tools such as sub_page_configs_get and subscriptions_get_by_short_uuid, yet the description gives no indication of how this tool differs. The purpose is not immediately clear or actionable.

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. There is no mention of conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions. The agent is left without any direction on selecting this tool over the many similar subscription and sub-page configuration tools in the sibling list.

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