C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that: it says nothing about what detail fields are returned, error behavior for an unknown UUID, or the meaning of 'site'. With the lower bar set by annotations, this still contributes almost no behavioral context.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single efficient sentence with the key identifying constraint ('by UUID') front-loaded. The unexplained '[UNIFIED]' tag is the only wasted token.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple read tool whose safety profile is covered by annotations, the description is nearly sufficient. However, with no output schema, an agent has no idea what 'details' are returned, and the required 'site' parameter remains a complete unknown.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry the burden. It clarifies that 'uuid' identifies the database to fetch, but the required 'site' parameter is left entirely undefined in both schema and description.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource: 'Get details of a specific Coolify database by UUID.' This clearly separates it from create/delete/restart/update database siblings. The '[UNIFIED]' prefix is unexplained jargon that adds no discriminating information.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no sibling is named as an alternative (e.g., vs coolify_get_database_backups or supabase_get_database_stats). Only an implied purpose – fetch details for one database – is present.

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