build_bundles__app_clip_domain_cache_status__get

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description's 'Read' is consistent. However, it adds no extra behavioral details (e.g., rate limits, caching, authorization) beyond what annotations provide. With annotations covering the safety profile, a 3 is appropriate.

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 a single, short sentence including the endpoint. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, and contains zero waste.

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?

For a simple read tool with one parameter and annotations, the description is adequate but lacks information about the response content (e.g., cache status details). Given the tool's simplicity, a 3 is fair.

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 100% for the single parameter 'id'. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema's 'Resource identifier.' No format, examples, or constraints are provided. Baseline 3 is justified as description adds minimal value.

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 'Read' and the specific resource 'App Clip domain cache status for a build bundle'. It includes the HTTP method and endpoint, and distinguishes from the sibling tool 'build_bundles__app_clip_domain_debug_status__get' by specifying 'cache status'.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., the debug status tool). No context on prerequisites, expected state, or exclusions is given.

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