sdcloud_get_nat_policy

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

With no annotations, the description should fully disclose behavior, but it only states 'Get a NAT policy by ID.' It does not mention error handling, side effects, or that it is a read-only operation. Minimal transparency for a simple read tool.

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?

Extremely concise: one sentence that is front-loaded with verb and resource. No unnecessary words, making it efficient for quick parsing.

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 the large sibling set, the description provides no context about what a NAT policy is, what the response contains, or ID format. With no output schema, it leaves 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?

Schema coverage is 0%; the description adds no extra meaning beyond 'by ID'. The agent learns the parameter exists but gets no hints about format, length, or constraints. Inadequate compensation for missing schema documentation.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'NAT policy by ID', making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It effectively distinguishes from siblings like 'sdcloud_list_nat_policies' and 'sdcloud_delete_nat_policy'.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like listing or creating policies. The description implies usage when a specific ID is known, but lacks when-not or alternative tool suggestions.

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