get_uniprot_generic_interface_residues_api_uniprot_interface

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. Description adds context about response content (sequence, length, residue-level details, positional info) without contradicting annotations. No discussion of edge cases, but additional output details are valuable.

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 informative but somewhat verbose, repeating the main idea. It is front-loaded with the primary action but could be trimmed without loss of clarity.

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 no output schema, the description partially describes response (sequence, residue details) but lacks details on error handling, optional fields, or structure of the residue array. Adequate for a simple retrieval tool but not fully complete.

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 100% (single param with description 'UniProt accession'). The tool description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema; baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 it retrieves detailed interface residue information for a UniProt accession, including sequence and length. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_interface_residues_api_pdb_entry_interfaces__pdb_id___en (PDB-based) and get_uniprot_interaction_partners (partners).

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 vs alternatives, such as when to prefer over PDB-based interface tools or interaction partner tools. No when-not-to-use or context hints.

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