sdcloud_get_device_config_latest_version

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

With no annotations, the description must compensate. It states 'Get metadata' implying a read-only operation but provides no details on what metadata is returned, error conditions, or side effects. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotation backup.

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, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It is appropriately sized for the minimal information provided, but could benefit from expansion.

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 simple schema (one parameter) and no output schema, the description should clarify what 'metadata' entails. The current description is too vague to fully inform an agent about the tool's capabilities.

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 0% and the description adds no meaning to the 'device_uuid' parameter. It does not explain what the parameter represents or how to obtain it, leaving the agent without guidance.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'metadata for a device's latest configuration revision', making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'sdcloud_list_device_config_versions' by focusing on the latest version.

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, nor does it specify scenarios where this tool is appropriate.

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