cleanuparr_get_malware_blocker_config

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, so the read-only behavior is already known. The description does not add any further behavioral details such as whether the configuration is returned in a specific format, if defaults apply, or if authentication is required. With annotations covering safety, this is acceptable but not enhanced.

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 a single 4-word sentence that precisely conveys the tool's action and target. There is zero redundancy or unnecessary detail, making it optimally concise.

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 zero-parameter read-only getter with an output schema, the description is minimally sufficient. It clearly names the resource, and the output schema handles return details. However, it doesn't explain what 'malware blocker configuration' encompasses or mention that it pairs with the update tool, which would add mild context.

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 tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100% (vacuously), so the schema leaves no gaps. The description does not need to explain parameters, and with no params, the baseline is 4.

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 specific verb ('Get') and a clear resource ('malware blocker configuration'), making its purpose unambiguous. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling 'cleanuparr_update_malware_blocker_config' tool, since this is the read-only counterpart.

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 versus alternatives or when not to use it. It neither mentions the update sibling nor any context such as needing to view settings before changing them, leaving the agent without explicit usage direction.

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