getJsonSection_virus_total

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

The verb 'Get' implies a read operation, which is appropriate for a read-only tool. However, with no annotations, the description does not explicitly state non-destructiveness, auth needs, or error handling, though minimal disclosure is acceptable for a simple retrieval.

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 one short sentence that directly conveys the purpose. Every word earns its place; no redundant information.

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 of a specific section, the description is fairly complete. However, it does not explain what the 'virus_total' section contains or the output format, which could help the agent understand the result.

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% (hash parameter has description). The description simply restates 'by hash', adding no additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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 action (Get), the specific resource ('virus_total' section of MobSF JSON report), and the identifier (hash). It distinguishes from siblings by specifying the exact section name.

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 the many other getJsonSection_* tools or alternatives like getJsonReport. It does not mention prerequisites or context.

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