zabbix_apiinfo_get

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

No annotations are provided; the description carries full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, side effects, or return value format. The term 'method' is generic and adds 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.

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

The description is extremely concise (one short sentence), but it sacrifices necessary information. It is not a tautology, but it is too sparse to be useful.

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?

Although an output schema exists, the description fails to state the basic purpose clearly enough for an agent to understand when and how to use this tool. Given the low schema coverage and no annotations, the description is incomplete.

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 0%. The description does not explain the single 'params' parameter at all, leaving the agent to guess its purpose (e.g., additional API options).

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 'Zabbix API apiinfo.version method' indicates it calls a specific Zabbix API method to get version info, but it does not explicitly state that it retrieves the API version. For an AI agent unfamiliar with Zabbix, this could be ambiguous. It distinguishes from sibling tools like zabbix_apiinfo_create, but lacks a clear verb (e.g., 'get version').

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other apiinfo methods or version checks). No mention of prerequisites or exclusions.

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