get_load_balancer_l7_policies

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

The description discloses the return format (JSON string with policy details, actions, rules), but with no annotations provided, it fails to mention permissions, read-only nature, or error handling. The description adds some value but leaves gaps.

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 concise, with the main purpose stated first, followed by a structured Args and Returns section. No unnecessary words or redundancy.

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 simple structure (one optional parameter, no nested objects) and presence of an output schema, the description covers purpose, parameter, and return value adequately. It could mention error cases or permissions but is largely complete.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully explains the parameter's purpose, optionality, and default behavior (shows all policies if empty). This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema.

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 tool retrieves L7 policies, optionally filtered by listener, using a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'L7 policies'. It distinguishes from siblings like get_load_balancer_l7_rules and get_load_balancer_listeners.

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 explains when to use the optional listener filter and the effect of omitting it, providing clear context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives, so it is not a 5.

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