netbox_get_fhrp_group
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a specific FHRP group from NetBox by numeric ID. Returns markdown or JSON with full object details.

Instructions

Get a single fhrp_group from NetBox by numeric id.

Use after netbox_list_fhrp_groups has located the object, or when you already have the id.

Returns: Markdown detail (default) or JSON with the full NetBox object including nested references.

Input Schema

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds return format details (Markdown vs JSON) and mentions nested references, which provides additional behavioral context beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences with clear front-loading: purpose, usage context, return format. Every sentence is essential and not wasteful.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema is provided, but the description explains the two return formats. Annotations are rich. For a simple get operation, the description covers all necessary operational context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides for the two parameters. The phrase 'by numeric id' echoes the schema description but does not enhance it.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Get a single fhrp_group from NetBox by numeric id,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like netbox_list_fhrp_groups and netbox_create_fhrp_group through the usage guideline.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit guidance: 'Use after netbox_list_fhrp_groups has located the object, or when you already have the id.' This clarifies when to use this tool versus alternatives. No explicit when-not-to, but the context is clear.

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