IvedaAI: CloudStorage

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

It discloses response envelope details ('status' as HTTP status, 'truncated'/'timedOut' flags) and required body fields, which goes beyond the minimal annotations (all false). However, it omits side effects, idempotency, authentication needs, or data persistence beyond the implicit create/update verbs.

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 lengthy due to eight endpoints but well-organized with line breaks and consistent formatting. The repeated body requirement lines are somewhat redundant but aid clarity. Overall, it is efficiently structured for a multi-operation tool.

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?

Given the high complexity of eight operations and no output schema, the description covers operation selection, parameter requirements, response notes, and tells where to find full schemas. It is complete enough for correct invocation, though it relies on ivedaai_get_schema for detailed field validation.

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?

While the schema has generic body/query/path objects, the description adds operation-specific meaning: which endpoints accept body (with required cloudStorageType and lifecycleRules) versus query (objectKey), and it directs to ivedaai_get_schema for full field definitions, bridging the schema's generic language.

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 identifies this as 'CloudStorage operations' and enumerates eight distinct endpoints with clear verbs (Get, Create, Update, etc.), making the tool's purpose unambiguous and distinct from sibling resource tools like ivedaai_camera_group.

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 description provides per-endpoint context (e.g., POST creates, PUT updates, GET reads) and lists which operations require body or query parameters. It does not explicitly contrast with alternatives, but the resource-specific naming and operation list make when-to-use clear.

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