panelica_accounts_get_v1_accounts_id

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

Annotations already cover the read-only, non-destructive, idempotent nature of the operation. The description adds the required scope 'accounts:read' and restates read-only behavior, which is useful but does not go much beyond what annotations already convey.

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 short, structured, and easy to scan with clear labels for HTTP, category, scopes, and behavior. A little redundancy exists with the title and annotations, but overall it is appropriately sized.

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 simple single-parameter GET operation, the description is mostly sufficient, especially with annotations and schema in place. However, it does not describe what data the response contains or explicitly distinguish itself from the related list-accounts endpoint, leaving minor gaps for an agent deciding whether this is the correct tool.

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% and the only parameter, 'id', is already described as 'Path parameter: id'. The description adds no additional meaning about parameter format, constraints, or examples, so the schema carries the semantic weight.

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 clear verb and resource, 'Get account', reinforced by the HTTP method and path 'GET /v1/accounts/:id'. This makes it distinguishable from sibling account tools that target sub-resources like stats or disk usage, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with the list-accounts sibling.

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 useful context such as the HTTP endpoint and required scopes, which implies this is for retrieving a single account by ID. However, it gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus related alternatives like panelica_accounts_get_v1_accounts or the account sub-resource tools.

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