get_app_price_schedule

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. However, it fails to mention any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authorization requirements, or rate limits. The description essentially restates the name without adding useful 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 very concise with a single sentence. It front-loads the key action and resource. However, it could be better structured to include more detail 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?

For a simple read tool with one parameter, the description is minimally complete but lacks explanation of what the price schedule contains (e.g., tiers, currencies, dates). There is no output schema, so the description should clarify return values, but it only vaguely mentions 'pricing information'.

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 100% coverage (single parameter 'appId' with a clear description). According to the guidelines, baseline is 3 for high coverage. The description adds no additional parameter meaning, but the schema already provides sufficient information.

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 'price schedule for an app', and mentions 'pricing information' to clarify content. However, it does not distinguish this tool from similar siblings like 'list_app_price_points' or 'get_price_point_equalizations', which could cause confusion.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it doesn't explain when to use 'get_app_price_schedule' instead of 'list_app_price_points' or 'get_price_point_equalizations'. The description lacks explicit context or exclusions.

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