domain_get

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral burden. It only says 'Get details', which implies a read operation, but does not disclose whether permissions are required, what response format to expect, how errors like missing domains are handled, or any rate limits or side effects. This is minimal behavioral disclosure.

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, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the key action and object. No filler or redundancy, every word earns its place.

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?

The tool is simple with one well-schemaed parameter, so a minimal description might suffice. However, without an output schema, 'details' is vague—it does not specify what fields or information will be returned, nor what happens if the domain is not found. This leaves a meaningful gap in understanding the tool's complete behavior.

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?

The input schema already describes the only parameter 'domain' as 'Domain name or ID' with 100% coverage. The description's phrase 'specific domain' adds no additional semantic detail beyond the schema, so the schema-driven baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states the action (Get) and resource (specific domain), distinguishing it from sibling tools like domains_list (which lists domains) and domain_create/update/delete (which modify domains). The singular 'specific domain' reinforces its one-object retrieval purpose.

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 usage guidance is given. The intended use is implied by the name and singular parameter: to fetch details for one domain. However, it does not mention alternatives such as domains_list for listing all domains or domain_update for modifying, so guidance is only implicit.

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