hcloud_show_public_ip

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

No annotations provided, and the description lacks any behavioral context such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or what side effects occur. As a retrieval tool, it is likely read-only, but the description does not clarify.

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 concise sentence with no superfluous words. However, it could be slightly expanded to include purpose clarification without harming 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?

There is no output schema, and the description does not hint at the return value (e.g., IP address, status, associated resources). The tool is simple but could benefit from specifying what 'details' means.

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?

Both parameters (region, publicip_id) are described in the schema, achieving 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning or constraints beyond the schema field descriptions.

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 states the verb 'Get details' and resource 'specific elastic public IP', which is clear. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like hcloud_list_public_ips or other hcloud_show_* tools, which also fetch resource details.

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as hcloud_list_public_ips. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., having a public IP ID) or scenarios where this tool is preferred.

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