get_file_behavior_report

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

No annotations provided, so description must cover behavioral traits. It does not mention read-only nature, side effects, or potential failures. However, it does describe the parameter behavior (ID pattern), which is helpful.

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?

Multiple sentences but no fluff. Structure is clear: main sentence, explanatory paragraph, then Args/Returns. Could be slightly tighter but effective.

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?

Output schema exists, so return details are not needed. It explains the parameter well and gives contextual info about obtaining the ID. Missing error conditions or performance notes, but adequate for a retrieval tool.

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 has 0% description coverage but the description adds the ID pattern (file hash + sandbox name) and how to derive it, adding significant meaning beyond the schema.

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 it retrieves a report for a file behaviour ID. It distinguishes from siblings like get_file_report and get_entities_related_to_a_file by specifying the unique input and how to obtain it.

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?

It explains how to get the file behaviour identifier via get_entities_related_to_a_file and the ID pattern, providing strong context for when to use this tool. Does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the guidance is clear.

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