dut_get_dpars

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It clearly conveys a read-only enumeration and the inclusion of values, but it does not disclose return format, behavior for invalid dut_path, or ordering. For a simple getter this is adequate but not rich.

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 efficient sentence that states the core action and result without redundancy. It is front-loaded with the verb and object.

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 one-parameter getter, this is minimally complete: the action and returned values are stated and the schema fills in the required string parameter. Missing guidance on path semantics and alternative tools, but complexity is low.

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?

Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain dut_path at all. The tool name and description imply it identifies the DUT whose parameters are retrieved, but no format, source, or usage detail is provided, leaving the agent to infer the meaning.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('all DUT parameters (DPar) with their values'). The word 'all' and the DPar scoping distinguish it from sibling getters like dpar_get (single parameter) and dut_get_dvars (DUT variables).

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 explicit when-to-use or alternative is given. The phrase 'Get all' implies this is the tool for retrieving the full set of DUT parameters rather than a single one via dpar_get, but the guidance is left to inference.

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