get_object_storage_bucket_location

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Get the region/location' but does not mention whether this operation is read-only, requires authentication, has rate limits, or what happens on error. The description is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's behavioral traits.

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 description is a single sentence of 10 words, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it may be too terse, omitting important details. It is not verbose but could be slightly expanded without losing conciseness.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is lacking. It does not describe the return value format (e.g., a string region code or a location object). For a complete invocation, the agent needs to know what the response looks like. The description leaves this gap.

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% (the single parameter 'bucket' is described as 'the name of the object storage bucket'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. According to the rubric, baseline is 3 when coverage is high, and the description does not improve parameter understanding.

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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get the region/location of an Object Storage bucket.' The verb 'Get' and resource 'region/location' are specific and unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'list_object_storage_buckets' (which lists buckets) and 'get_object_storage_region' (which likely returns region metadata).

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., bucket must exist), when to prefer this over other bucket info tools, or what to do if the bucket is not found. The agent is left without context for appropriate invocation.

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