IvedaAI: Brand

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by disclosing response characteristics: 'status' as HTTP status code and 'truncated'/'timedOut' flags for cut-off responses. This is information beyond the annotations, though not exhaustive.

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 succinct: two sentences (one for context, one for response metadata) plus a clear endpoint listing. Every sentence contributes meaningful information without redundancy or fluff.

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?

The tool lacks an output schema, so the description must explain the return value. It only mentions status, truncated, and timedOut flags, but does not describe the actual brand data structure or array shape returned by 'List brands'. Given the simplicity of the operation, some additional detail about the response body would be necessary for a complete understanding.

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 100% for all parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description itself does not explain parameter meanings beyond the schema; the operation enum and generic property descriptions in the schema already cover how to invoke the tool. No additional semantic value is added.

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 explicitly states 'GET /api/brands — List brands', providing a specific verb+resource combination. It clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings by naming the resource 'brands' and the action 'list'.

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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions. The description merely lists the available operation without context for selection among the many IvedaAI sibling tools.

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