C2.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. 'Get' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not disclose other behavioral traits such as response shape, authorization requirements, or whether the endpoint returns aggregated storage usage or raw details.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is short, which is concise, but it is under-specified rather than efficiently structured. It provides no additional information beyond what the tool name already suggests and therefore does not earn its place as a meaningful definition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Although the tool has no required parameters and an output schema exists, the description omits the admin/maintenance context and fails to clarify what storage details are returned. An agent would not know whether this is the right tool among several storage-related siblings or what kind of output to expect.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 0% description coverage and the only parameter, accept-language, is entirely undocumented in the description. Since schema coverage is low, the description needed to compensate by explaining the parameter, but it does not.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Get Storage Details' identifies a retrieve operation on a storage resource, so it is not a complete tautology. However, it is vague about what 'details' means and does not mention the admin/maintenance scope that distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like list_groups_storage or list_admin_maintenance.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the long list of sibling tools with similar storage or admin-maintenance naming, the description gives no context or exclusion that would help an agent select this specific endpoint.

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