iaas_get_vcf_cloud_account

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description adds nothing on top of that — the 'GET /iaas/api/...' line merely restates readOnly. It says nothing about behavior when the id is unknown (error shape) or any pagination/auth considerations, which is the kind of context that would earn a higher score here.

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 lines are near-verbatim duplicates ('Get an VCF cloud account' / 'Get an VCF cloud account with a given id'), so one sentence does not earn its place. The raw HTTP path is included but conveys nothing an agent can act on beyond what the annotations already say.

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 two-parameter read-by-id tool with full schema coverage and rich annotations, minimal description is close to sufficient. However, with no output schema the description could at least hint at what a VCF cloud account record contains, and it does not.

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 both the required 'id' path parameter and the optional 'apiVersion' are already documented in the schema. The description's 'with a given id' adds no format, encoding, or sourcing detail beyond that, so the baseline of 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?

States a specific verb and resource (get a VCF cloud account) and adds 'with a given id', which separates it from the list-style sibling iaas_get_vcf_cloud_accounts. It does not, however, distinguish itself from other single-resource getters such as iaas_get_cloud_account or iaas_get_vsphere_cloud_account beyond the VCF qualifier.

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 explicit statement of when to use this versus iaas_get_vcf_cloud_accounts (list) or iaas_get_cloud_account (generic). The only hint is the implicit 'given id' phrasing, and no preconditions or exclusions are offered.

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