getVhost

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It merely restates the action without explaining read-only nature, error handling (e.g., behavior when ID not found), or return value structure. This is insufficient given the lack of annotation context.

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 a single concise sentence with no extraneous words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, which is ideal for a simple get-by-ID operation.

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 simplicity of one parameter and the presence of an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks guidance on when to use this vs. listVhosts, and it omits any mention of possible outcomes (e.g., 404 handling), making it only moderately complete for an agent to invoke correctly in all situations.

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?

The description adds minimal semantic value by saying 'by ID', which mirrors the schema's 'vhost_id' parameter. With 0% schema description coverage and no annotations, it fails to compensate by explaining the parameter's format, validation, or meaning beyond its name.

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 clearly states the action ('Get') and the resource ('vhost'), and specifies it is by ID. This distinguishes it from siblings such as listVhosts (which lists) and createVhost/deleteVhost (which create/delete).

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 implies a usage context: fetch a single vhost when you have its ID. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like listVhosts, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites.

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