get_service_details

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

No annotations provided; description implies read-only behavior but does not explicitly state idempotence, safety, or side effects. Mentions 'formatted output for LLM automation' but no permission or rate limit 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?

Structured with sections but contains redundancy (e.g., 'Retrieves detailed status and configuration information' repeated in opening and Core Functions). Could be tighter.

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?

Single-parameter tool with existing output schema; description covers success and failure return types. Lacks details on output fields but is acceptable given output schema.

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 has 0% description coverage, but description adds examples ('HDFS', 'YARN', 'HBASE') and clarifies purpose beyond the bare schema type 'string'.

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 'Retrieves detailed status and configuration information for a specific service' and differentiates from siblings like get_service_status and get_service_components by emphasizing comprehensive details.

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?

Provides explicit 'Required Usage Scenarios' (detailed info requests, troubleshooting) but lacks comparative guidance on when to use alternatives like get_service_status.

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