vault_permissions_get

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'Get vault accessor permissions', implying read-only behavior but omits any details about side effects, authentication requirements, rate limits, or error states. This is insufficient for a tool with zero annotation support.

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?

Two sentences, no fluff. The second sentence provides optional context about the JS SDK beta, which, while not critical, adds useful information without being excessive.

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 the simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema), the description is minimal. It lacks details about return format, error conditions, or prerequisites, which are important for an AI agent to use the tool correctly. The absence of such context makes it incomplete.

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 only parameter 'vaultId' has no description in schema (0% coverage). The description does not clarify its purpose, expected format, or how to obtain it, leaving the agent without essential guidance for correct invocation.

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 'Get vault accessor permissions' which clearly identifies the action (get) and resource (vault accessor permissions). It distinguishes from sibling tools like vault_get (vault details) and vault_list (list vaults) by specifying 'accessor permissions', though it assumes knowledge of the accessor concept.

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 versus alternatives like vault_get or item_get_metadata. The mention of 'JS SDK beta' hints at a specific context but does not provide explicit when/when-not criteria or exclude scenarios.

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