esetprotect_get_edr_rule

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It says 'Get' (implying read-only) but does not disclose return behavior, not-found handling, authentication requirements, or whether any side effects could occur.

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 tightly scoped sentence with no filler. The verb, resource, and key parameter are all front-loaded.

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 simple get-by-UUID tool this is minimally viable: an agent knows what to pass and what general operation occurs. It is incomplete in that it lacks response shape and error behavior, and there is no output schema or annotation to fill the gap.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description at least clarifies that ruleUuid is the unique identifier used to fetch the rule, adding a functional role beyond the raw string property. It stops short of specifying format or constraints, but the single required parameter is self-evidently simple.

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') with a precise resource ('single EDR rule by UUID'). It distinguishes itself from sibling list tools (list_edr_rules) and from get_edr_rule_exclusion by explicitly saying 'EDR rule' rather than 'exclusion'.

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 phrase 'single ... by UUID' implies this is for fetching one known rule rather than listing rules. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over list_edr_rules or get_edr_rule_exclusion, nor mention any exclusions.

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