ShowStructTemplate

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it provides none. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, what data it returns, or any side effects. The agent cannot infer the safety profile or runtime behavior.

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 extremely short, but this is under-specification, not effective conciseness. It contains zero informative content and does not earn its place. It provides no value beyond the tool name and product context.

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 has 4 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is completely inadequate. It fails to explain what the operation does, which the agent needs to understand input requirements, expected outputs, or any related operations. The context is entirely missing.

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 only 50%, leaving log_group_id and log_stream_id entirely unexplained. The description does not compensate for this gap; it mentions no parameters at all. The agent has no insight into what the parameters mean or how they influence the operation.

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 merely restates the tool name as 'Huawei Cloud LTS operation ShowStructTemplate.' It does not specify what 'ShowStructTemplate' does, nor does it distinguish this operation from siblings like 'ListStructTemplate' or 'CreateStructTemplate.' The verb 'Show' and the resource are implied by the name, but the description adds no new clarity.

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 guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, intended scenarios, or related tools. There is no context to help an agent decide when to invoke this operation.

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