protect_get_liveview

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It states getting detailed information but does not disclose behavioral traits like idempotency, rate limits, authentication needs, or side effects. The verb 'get' implies read-only, but it is not explicit.

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 extremely concise with a single sentence and argument listing, containing no unnecessary words. It is well-structured and front-loaded.

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?

Given the simple single-parameter nature and existence of an output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and parameter. However, missing usage guidelines and behavioral transparency make it less complete for safe invocation.

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?

The description adds meaning by stating 'liveview_id: The liveview ID', clarifying the parameter's role beyond the schema's title. However, schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not add format or constraints, so it only partially compensates.

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 explicitly states 'Get detailed information about a specific Protect liveview', clearly indicating the verb (get), resource (liveview), and scope (specific). It distinguishes from siblings like protect_list_liveviews (list all), protect_create_liveview (create), and protect_update_liveview (update).

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as protect_list_liveviews for finding IDs or protect_get_camera for similar operations. There is no mention of prerequisites or context.

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