C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds nothing on the safety profile. It also omits what happens if the id is unknown (404 style behavior) or any permission requirements, repeating only the annotation-covered endpoint semantics.

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, but the first two lines are near-duplicates ('Get an Azure Cloud Account' repeated with 'with a given id'), so it is redundant rather than tightly front-loaded. The endpoint path is the only distinct information.

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 single-resource read with one required parameter and no output schema, the essential call mechanics are present. However, with no output schema the description could have sketched the returned cloud account shape, and it says nothing about failure modes.

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%, with both the id and apiVersion parameters documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning such as id format, where the id comes from, or whether apiVersion is optional in practice, so the baseline of 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 Azure Cloud Account with a given id') and the underlying endpoint, so the agent knows exactly which object is fetched. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling list tool iaas_get_azure_cloud_accounts, leaving that inference to the singular/plural naming.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus iaas_get_azure_cloud_accounts, iaas_get_cloud_account, or iaas_get_vsphere_cloud_account. The agent must infer selection purely from the tool name.

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