komodo_get_deployment

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

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the burden. 'Get detailed information' implies a safe read, and it discloses what is returned ('configuration and status'), but it says nothing about permissions, required auth (login/session context implied by sibling komodo_login), or error behavior for an unknown ID.

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?

Front-loaded purpose sentence followed by clearly labeled Args and Returns sections; short and waste-free. The section labels add slight structural overhead but aid scanning.

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 single-parameter read tool with an output schema present, the definition is nearly sufficient: purpose, input identity, and a high-level return summary are all covered. The remaining gap is the lack of guidance on obtaining the deployment ID, which is minor.

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 single parameter has no description in the schema, so the description does the work by labeling it 'Deployment ID'. That is useful but minimal — no format, source, or example of where the ID comes from (e.g., komodo_list_deployments).

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get detailed information about a specific deployment'), which clearly separates it from the sibling komodo_list_deployments. It does not, however, explicitly name the siblings it differs from, so sibling differentiation is left to inference.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives such as komodo_list_deployments (to obtain the ID) or the get_stack/get_server counterparts. An agent can infer this is the detail lookup versus the list call, but nothing is stated.

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