iaas_get_gcp_storage_profile

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds nothing beyond restating the operation and echoing the raw endpoint path already present in the annotation title, leaving return shape and not-found behavior undisclosed.

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?

Three short lines, but the first two are near-duplicates ('Get GCP storage class' / 'Get GCP storage class with a given id') and the third merely restates the HTTP route. Minimal waste in absolute terms, yet the content is repetitive rather than informative.

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 read-by-id tool with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the basics are covered. Still, an agent gets no hint of what a GCP storage profile contains or what a failed lookup looks like, which the description could cheaply supply.

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 description coverage is 100% for both parameters (id and apiVersion), so the schema does the heavy lifting and baseline is 3. The phrase 'with a given id' only weakly reinforces the required parameter and adds no format or sourcing detail.

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 states a specific verb and resource ('Get GCP storage class with a given id'), which is enough to tell this is a single-item fetch. It does not distinguish itself from the sibling list tool iaas_get_gcp_storage_profiles or from the AWS/Azure equivalents, and the 'storage class' vs 'storage profile' mismatch with the tool name adds mild ambiguity.

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 this versus iaas_get_gcp_storage_profiles or iaas_get_storage_profile, and no mention of prerequisites such as needing an id obtained from the list endpoint. Usage must be inferred entirely from the name.

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