sdcloud_get_firewall_policy

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Get a firewall policy by UUID' without mentioning that the operation is read-only, its safety profile, any prerequisites, or error behavior (e.g., what happens if UUID not found).

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, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. It is efficient, though its brevity trades off completeness. For a simple retrieval tool, the conciseness is appropriate.

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 complexity of sibling tools and lack of output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what a firewall policy object contains, error handling, or how to obtain the UUID, leaving the agent under-informed.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. It does not explain the format, source, or valid values for 'policy_uuid', 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 tool retrieves a specific firewall policy by UUID, using a specific verb (Get) and resource (firewall policy) with a unique identifier method (by UUID). This distinguishes it from siblings like list or update.

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 implies when to use (when you need a specific policy by UUID) but provides no explicit guidance on alternatives or exclusions. For example, it does not mention that to retrieve all policies one should use sdcloud_list_firewall_policies.

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