get_agent_relationships

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

Annotations already carry the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), so the bar is lower. The description adds value by disclosing the resolution chain that the tool traverses, which is behavioral context beyond the annotations. However, it does not describe output shape, failure behavior, or what happens at each hop, so it only partially enriches the annotation-covered picture.

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?

A single compact chain with zero wasted words; the core meaning is front-loaded in the first token. The arrow-chain notation is efficient but borders on cryptic, and adding one clarifying sentence could improve structure without bloating it.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining return values, and it only implies them via the chain. Key terms like 'Blueprint' are undefined, and the multi-hop semantics (what each arrow resolves into, what the final output looks like) are underspecified. Adequate for a one-parameter read tool with strong annotations, but not complete.

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 0%, so the description should compensate. It does anchor agent_identifier as the starting point of the resolution chain ('Agent →'), adding mild meaning beyond the schema title 'Agent Identifier'. But it does not clarify the identifier's format (name, ID, GUID) or how the agent is matched, leaving a partial gap.

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 uses a specific verb ('Resolve') with a distinctive resource: a chain from Agent → Owners → Identity → Blueprint → Graph Permissions → Azure RBAC. This conveys a trace/expansion operation that is distinct from the reverse-direction sibling get_agents_by_owner. However, it does not explicitly name or disambiguate from siblings, and the arrow-chain format is somewhat cryptic.

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?

Usage context is implied: the chain itself suggests this tool is for tracing an agent's full permission path to Azure RBAC. But there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives (e.g., get_agents_by_owner for the reverse direction, list_agent_identities for just identities), and no exclusions. An agent must infer the intended use case.

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