iaas_get_network_ip_ranges_result

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and non-destructive behavior, so the description would need to add something beyond that. It adds only the HTTP route, with no information about pagination semantics for top/skip, what the response contains, or how network IP ranges relate to allocated/released addresses.

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?

The first two sentences are the same instruction repeated, and the third is a raw route. Nearly every line is redundant, and the content is not front-loaded with any distinguishing information.

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 paginated read with full schema coverage and complete annotations, nothing critical is missing. However, given the dense set of similar IP-range endpoints, the description is too thin to guarantee correct tool selection.

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%, so the schema already documents id, top, skip, and apiVersion. The description contributes nothing about how the path id is obtained or how top/skip interact, so baseline 3 applies.

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+resource ('Get associated network IP ranges for a network') but repeats it verbatim and only adds the REST path. It never distinguishes this tool from the many near-identical siblings such as iaas_get_internal_network_ip_ranges, iaas_get_external_network_ip_ranges, or iaas_get_fabric_network_ip_ranges, so an agent cannot tell from the text alone which one applies.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no mention of pagination or ID sourcing. The agent must infer usage entirely from the name and schema.

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