panelica_domains_get_v1_domains_id_php

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

With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden. It only states 'Returns PHP configuration', implying a read operation. However, it lacks details on authentication, rate limits, or any potential side effects. The minimal disclosure barely meets the requirement.

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 extremely concise with two short sentences. It front-loads the purpose and includes the HTTP method and category without any wasted words. Perfectly efficient.

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 read tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but not complete. It could mention the expected structure of the returned PHP configuration (e.g., PHP version, settings) to help the agent understand the result. No error conditions or return format are specified.

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 one parameter (id) with 100% description coverage, so the schema already documents it. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying id is the domain ID, which is already clear from the endpoint. Baseline 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 'Returns PHP configuration for a domain', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_v1_domains_id (general domain info) and get_v1_domains_id_webserver (web server config), but could be more specific about what PHP configuration includes (e.g., version, settings).

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as panelica_domains_patch_v1_domains_id_php for updating PHP config. No prerequisites or context are mentioned, leaving the agent without decision support.

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