get_network_details

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose the data collected (config info, subnet IP allocation, router connection status, security group rules and port info), which is useful. It does not state that the operation is read-only (implied by 'get'/'Provides'), nor mention scope limitations such as whether routers/SGs are included only when referenced by the network.

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?

It is front-loaded with the core purpose, then a compact bullet list of covered resources, followed by a usage line. The bullet list partly restates the opening sentence, but overall it is efficient and appropriately sized.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value detail is unnecessary, and the single optional parameter is fully documented in the schema. The description sufficiently conveys what is retrieved for a read-only query tool, though it could better clarify boundaries with the router and security-group siblings.

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 description coverage is 100% and there is a single optional parameter with a documented default ('all'), so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no syntax, format, or default behavior details beyond the schema; baseline 3 applies.

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 first sentence states a clear verb and resource set ('Provides detailed information for OpenStack networks, subnets, routers, and security groups'), so an agent knows roughly what it returns. However, it does not distinguish itself from siblings such as get_routers and get_security_groups, leaving ambiguity about whether those are covered here or should use the dedicated tools.

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 final sentence gives usage scenarios ('network information, subnet details, router configuration, or network troubleshooting'), which implies when to call it. But there are no exclusions or alternatives named, and the overlap with get_routers/get_security_groups is unresolved, so an agent cannot confidently route between them.

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