alterios_config

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

The description says the configuration is 'redacted' but does not disclose behavioral traits such as side effects, authorization needs, or rate limits. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and fails to provide sufficient transparency.

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 sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource. It is appropriately concise with no extraneous words.

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 one optional parameter and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not clarify what 'redacted' means, the structure of the output, or how the 'profile' parameter affects the result.

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 single parameter 'profile' has no description in the schema (0% coverage), and the tool description does not mention or explain it. The parameter's purpose, allowed values, and impact remain completely unspecified.

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 specifies the verb 'Return' and the resource 'Alterios configuration and missing required values', clearly indicating the tool's output. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'alterios_service_catalog' or 'alterios_report_full'.

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. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or contexts where this tool is appropriate.

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