iaas_get_network_domains

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and openWorld, so the safety bar is low, but the description adds nothing beyond repeating the HTTP path that already appears in the annotation title. It says nothing about pagination, result limits, default scoping, or whether an empty list is possible.

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?

Very short and front-loaded, but the first two lines ("Get network domains" / "Get all network domains") are redundant restatements, and the HTTP verb/path line duplicates the annotation title. Minimal length, but with zero informational payoff per sentence.

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-only listing endpoint with full schema coverage but no output schema, the description is adequate to call the tool but leaves the agent guessing about return shape, pagination, and how results relate to zones/network profiles. Just enough, not more.

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% for the single optional apiVersion parameter, so the schema carries the semantics and baseline 3 applies. The description adds no hint about versioning implications or whether apiVersion changes the response shape.

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 generic verb+resource ("Get all network domains"), and "all" weakly implies a listing versus the singular sibling iaas_get_network_domain. But it is close to restating the tool name and never names the singular sibling or explains the difference explicitly.

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 when-to-use guidance and no alternatives are named, despite a near-identical sibling (iaas_get_network_domain) and many network-related siblings (iaas_get_networks, iaas_get_fabric_networks). The agent must infer that this is the list-everything variant.

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