iaas_get_flavor_profile

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieves an IaaS flavor profile by its ID, optionally including core details, so you can inspect available compute flavor specifications.

Instructions

idYesThe ID of the flavor. (path)
apiVersionNoThe version of the API in yyyy-MM-dd format (UTC). For versioning information refer to /iaas/api/about
includeCoresNoIf set to true will include cores in response.

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is fully covered externally. The description adds only the endpoint path, with no note on behavior such as error handling for a missing ID or what the response contains.

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?

Extremely short and front-loaded, but the opening line 'Get flavor profile' duplicates the title and the second line repeats the resource again before adding the only new information, the ID requirement and route.

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 read-only single-record fetch with a fully documented 3-parameter schema and complete annotations, the description is adequate. It is not misleading, but it leaves an agent to infer from the route alone that this returns one flavor profile rather than a list.

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 id, apiVersion, and includeCores are all documented in the schema itself. The description adds no meaning beyond that, which meets the baseline 3 for a fully documented schema.

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

Purpose3/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Get flavor profile with a given id') and the HTTP route confirms it is a single-resource fetch, implicitly distinguishing it from the plural iaas_get_flavor_profiles. However, the first line merely restates the tool name and no sibling is named 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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus iaas_get_flavor_profiles, iaas_get_flavors, iaas_get_fabric_flavors, or the update/delete variants. The 'given id' phrasing hints at single-record retrieval but nothing states conditions or exclusions.

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