get_environment_relationships

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

Without annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the method (SSH) and the return content (connection details). As a read operation, side effects are absent. However, it does not mention potential latency, authentication needs, or behavior when SSH is unavailable, but overall it is transparent enough.

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 two sentences: the first states the purpose and method, the second lists the return content. Every word adds value; no redundancy. Front-loaded with the core action.

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 no output schema or annotations, the description gives a clear picture of input (project, environment) and output (connection details for listed services). It lacks details on result format (e.g., JSON structure) and error cases, but is largely complete for a straightforward 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 coverage is 100% with both parameters described in the input schema. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema (e.g., formats, examples). Baseline 3 applies as the description adds no extra parameter context.

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 verb 'Get', the resource 'service relationships', and the context 'for a Magento Cloud environment via SSH'. It lists examples (database, redis, etc.) and specifies the returned details (host, port, etc.), making it distinct from sibling tools like list_services which likely only list service names.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_services). The phrase 'via SSH' hints at a prerequisite but does not elaborate on requirements like SSH key setup or environment connectivity. No exclusions or when-not-to-use information is provided.

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