sdcloud_get_ips_profile_rule

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Get', implying a read operation, but lacks details on authorization requirements, error responses, or side effects. Minimal behavioral context.

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 concise sentence. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. While short, it could be slightly more informative without becoming verbose.

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?

No output schema, no parameter descriptions, and no behavioral details. The tool lacks essential context such as return value format, error states, or prerequisites. It is incomplete for safe and effective use.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters (profile_uuid, rule_uuid). The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the tool should clarify that profile_uuid identifies the IPS profile and rule_uuid identifies the rule within it.

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 'an IPS rule within an IPS profile'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like list, create, update, delete for IPS rules.

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?

Usage is implied by the verb 'Get', but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., listing all rules). Could mention that this fetches a single rule by UUID, while sdcloud_list_ips_profile_rules retrieves all rules in a profile.

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