ptero_app_get_nests_nest

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It only indicates it's a GET request (read operation) but does not disclose authentication requirements, error handling, or other behavioral traits like rate limits or idempotency.

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?

Extremely short, but at the expense of usefulness. The description is too terse and fails to provide any meaningful information beyond the endpoint, which is already evident from the tool name.

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 presence of many sibling tools, no output schema, and three parameters, the description is grossly insufficient for an agent to select or invoke this tool correctly.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain parameters. It does not. The 'nest' parameter is not described (it could be an ID or name), and 'query' and 'body' are left entirely ambiguous despite being optional.

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?

Description is just the HTTP method and endpoint path ('GET /api/application/nests/{nest}'), which essentially restates the tool name. It does not explain that this tool retrieves a specific nest by ID, nor does it differentiate from siblings like ptero_app_get_nests (list all nests) or ptero_app_get_nests_nest_eggs.

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. For example, it does not mention that this tool is for a single nest while ptero_app_get_nests is for listing all nests. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite information.

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