ss_domain_transfer_details

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

No annotations and description does not disclose behavioral traits such as error conditions (e.g., no ongoing transfer) or side effects. Bare minimum.

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?

Single sentence, concise and front-loaded. No fluff, but could include brief usage context without losing conciseness.

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 get-status tool with one parameter, it's adequate but lacks mention of output format or preconditions (e.g., transfer must be in progress).

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 100% with description 'Domain name'. Tool description adds no extra meaning 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?

Description uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'status of an ongoing domain transfer'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like ss_domain_transfer (initiate) and ss_domain_transfer_lock.

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 on when to use vs alternatives or prerequisites. Implicitly for checking status, but lacks context like 'Use after initiating a transfer'.

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