Get Scaleway bucket versioning state

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

The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it reveals that versioning can be frozen at Enabled when Object Lock is enabled, which is a critical constraint the agent must know. It also provides a live-verification date, enhancing trust. This goes beyond the readOnlyHint and idempotentHint annotations.

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 concise (two sentences) and front-loaded: the first sentence states the purpose and return values, the second provides a critical caveat. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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?

This simple read tool is fully covered: both parameters have schema descriptions, annotations cover safety, and the description explains the return values and a special case (Object Lock). No output schema exists, but the return values are defined in text. The description is complete for the tool's complexity.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage, both parameters are already well-documented in the schema. The description does not add new parameter semantics beyond referring to 'bucket's versioning state', so it meets the baseline but adds no extra 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's function: 'Read a bucket's versioning state' and enumerates the possible return values ('' , 'Enabled', 'Suspended'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like set_bucket_versioning (write) and get_object_lock (different resource).

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 gives a clear context for use (reading versioning state) but does not explicitly mention alternatives or when-not-to-use scenarios. Since the getter/setter pair is implied by the tool name, this is clear context without exclusions, but it lacks explicit alternative references.

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