sdcloud_get_ips_context

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get an IPS context by UUID,' which implies a read operation but fails to mention any authentication requirements, rate limits, or potential side effects. The lack of annotations amplifies this gap.

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 sentence of 6 words), which is efficient but lacks any structure. It could be more informative without sacrificing conciseness, e.g., by mentioning the return type.

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 absence of an output schema and annotations, the description should compensate by explaining what data is returned, any prerequisites (e.g., UUID must exist), or error conditions. It does none of these, leaving the agent underinformed.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, and the tool description adds no detail about the 'uuid' parameter beyond 'by UUID.' The parameter is required but the description does not explain its format, source, or constraints, providing no additional value over the 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 action ('Get') and the resource ('IPS context'), and specifies the identifier ('by UUID'). It is unambiguous but does not differentiate from the sibling 'sdcloud_list_ips_contexts' which retrieves multiple contexts.

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 like 'sdcloud_list_ips_contexts'. There is no mention of prerequisites, expected usage context, or when not to use this tool.

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