get_alert_details_multi_cluster

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

No annotations are provided. The description only indicates a read operation ('Get detailed information') but lacks disclosure of behavior on missing alerts, performance implications, or authorization requirements.

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 brief and front-loaded with the purpose. The Args section repeats some schema info, but overall efficient. Could be slightly tighter by avoiding redundant parameter descriptions.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be detailed. The description covers core functionality and parameters. Missing explicit differentiation from sibling tool 'get_alert_details' reduces completeness slightly.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the text compensates by explaining 'alert_name' as the name to search (with example) and noting 'cluster_filter' is optional. Slight lack of precision (e.g., matching format) but adds clear meaning beyond schema types.

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 tool retrieves detailed information for a specific alert across multiple clusters. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_alert_details' (which presumably targets a single cluster) and other list tools.

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?

The description implies usage via parameter hints (cluster_filter optional, all clusters if empty) but does not explicitly specify when to prefer this tool over alternatives like 'get_alert_details'. No exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.

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