Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that — no auth requirements, no error behavior when the id is unknown, no note on what the returned object contains. The 'GET /iaas/api/cloud-accounts-aws/{id}' line merely restates the operation already encoded in the annotations title.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Short and front-loaded, but the first two lines are near-duplicates ('Get an AWS cloud account' / 'Get an AWS cloud account with a given id'), and the third is a raw REST path. Nothing is off-topic, but the redundancy costs it.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple single-resource GET with full annotation coverage and a fully documented two-parameter schema, this is minimally sufficient to call correctly. It is thin on what comes back (no output schema exists) and on failure modes, which an agent might reasonably want.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both the required 'id' (path) and optional 'apiVersion' are documented in the schema. The description's phrase 'with a given id' adds no format or sourcing detail beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get an AWS cloud account') and narrows scope to a single account identified by id. It is distinguishable from the list sibling iaas_get_aws_cloud_accounts and the generic iaas_get_cloud_account, though it never names them explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

'with a given id' implies you must already know the account ID, which is the only usage signal present. There is no statement of when to use this versus iaas_get_aws_cloud_accounts or iaas_get_cloud_account, and no prerequisites or exclusions.

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