gate_method_detail

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

The description lists content categories ('request parameters, response formats, usage examples, error handling') which adds some transparency, but with no annotations, it fails to disclose output format, read-only nature, or potential errors explicitly.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and mostly efficient. The trailing 'etc.' and 'helping developers' add slight fluff but do not significantly hurt clarity.

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 1-parameter query, the description gives an overview of content, but it lacks details on return format, error behavior, or method name requirements, and there is no output schema to compensate.

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%, with parameter description 'The specific method name to query'. The main description only reinforces 'specific' but adds no format, syntax, or example, so it provides little beyond 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 'Query detailed usage information for specific API methods in Gate Exchange SDK', giving a specific verb, resource, and scope. It distinguishes from siblings like gate_methods (likely listing methods) and other exchange detail 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 phrase 'specific API methods' implies use when detailed info is needed, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance.

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