iaas_get_vsphere_cloud_account

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 elsewhere. The description adds nothing beyond that (no return-shape hints, no behavior on missing ID, no error semantics), and it does not contradict the annotations.

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 lines say the same thing: the first repeats the tool name, the second repeats it with 'with a given id', and the third is the raw path. That is duplication rather than front-loaded value, and the 'an vSphere' slip suggests unedited generated text.

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 100% schema coverage and complete annotations, the definition is adequate to call correctly. It is not complete as documentation, though – nothing tells the agent what the response contains or when this tool beats its plural sibling.

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 'id' and 'apiVersion' are already documented in the schema. The description's 'with a given id' only echoes the schema and adds no format or sourcing guidance for the required identifier, so the 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 the verb and resource ('Get an vSphere cloud account') and adds 'with a given id', but all three lines restate the same fact plus the raw HTTP path. It never distinguishes this singular fetch from the sibling iaas_get_vsphere_cloud_accounts (plural) or the generic iaas_get_cloud_account, so an agent must infer the difference.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite or permission note, and no mention of any alternative tool. Given the sibling list contains both 'iaas_get_vsphere_cloud_accounts' and 'iaas_get_cloud_account', the absence of routing information is a real gap.

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