vrm_get_inverter_charger_warnings_alarms

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states what the tool does (get warnings/alarms) but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, or side effects. Given the 'get' verb, it is likely safe, but this is not explicitly stated.

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, consisting of a single sentence that conveys the core purpose without any unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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 retrieval tool with two well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description is adequately complete. It tells the user what data is retrieved (warnings and alarms for inverter/charger). However, it could mention the optional instance parameter's role or the return format for completeness.

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 both parameters having descriptions in the schema. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. The baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the schema already fully describes the parameters.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'inverter/charger specific warnings and alarms,' providing a clear purpose. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like vrm_get_vebus_warnings_alarms or vrm_get_alarms, which could lead to confusion.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus other similar tools (e.g., vrm_get_alarms, vrm_get_vebus_warnings_alarms), nor does it mention any prerequisites or context.

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