acronis_fetch_resource_protection_status

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. Beyond that, the description adds nothing: it does not define what 'protected' means (by policy, by plan, by agent), does not mention pagination despite cursor fields, and does not hint at the response shape.

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?

One front-loaded sentence with zero wasted words. It is efficient, though the terseness edges toward under-specification for a tool with a 16-field nested query 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 paginated, richly filterable resource-status query with no output schema, the description should at minimum define 'protected' and indicate the returned fields. Neither is present, leaving an agent to infer the tool's semantics from the name alone.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the nested query object's fields are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no filtering or sorting meaning beyond that, which is acceptable but provides no extra value.

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 outcome for a specific resource: which resources are protected versus unprotected. The purpose is understandable, but it does not distinguish this tool from close siblings such as acronis_fetch_resources, acronis_fetch_resource, or acronis_fetch_resource_count, so an agent cannot tell from the description alone why it would pick this one.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no named alternative. Given a sibling set containing several resource-listing tools, the description provides no routing signal at all.

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