getSitesApsPowerSaving

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral disclosure burden. It only states it 'gets' config, implying a read operation, but fails to disclose whether special permissions are needed, error behaviors, or whether it returns partial or full config. The description is too sparse for a mutation-free read tool.

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 very concise (one sentence). While brevity is good, it sacrifices informativeness. The sentence does not earn its place by providing unique insight beyond the tool name itself.

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 no output schema, the description should indicate what the response contains (e.g., power saving settings structure). It does not. With many sibling tools, more context about scope and usage would be beneficial. The description is incomplete for a configuration retrieval tool.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema parameter explanations. The schema already covers siteId, customHeaders, and apMac adequately, so the description offers no additional 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 tool retrieves power saving configuration for an AP, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from numerous sibling tools with similar 'getSitesAps*' names, making it harder for an agent to select the correct one.

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 versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, typical use cases, or conditions that might favor other tools. Only parameter descriptions hint at discovering IDs and MACs, but the main text is silent.

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