zabbix_regex_get

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

No annotations are provided, and the description offers no behavioral details. It does not state that the tool performs a read-only operation, requires authentication, or returns data. The agent is left with no insight into side effects or safety.

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 short but fails to be informative. Conciseness without substance is not valuable; key information is missing.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description is wholly incomplete. It does not explain the tool's purpose in relation to the Zabbix API, does not document return values, and provides no context for effective agent use.

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 only parameter 'params' has 0% schema description coverage and the description adds no meaning to it. The agent cannot infer how to structure the params object (e.g., filter by ID or 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 'Zabbix API regex.get method' barely adds meaning beyond the tool name. It indicates a read operation but does not specify what is retrieved (e.g., list of regex objects, single item by criteria). It fails to distinguish from sibling tools like zabbix_regex_exists or zabbix_regex_get (which is itself).

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as zabbix_regex_create or zabbix_regex_update. The description does not mention any context, prerequisites, or typical use cases.

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