get-stream-connection-publishers

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the description's mention of 'Get' is consistent. The description does not add extra behavioral details (e.g., error cases, prerequisites), but given the annotations, this is acceptable but not improved.

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 sentence that is efficient and front-loaded with the key action. However, it could be restructured to include parameter explanations without losing 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?

For a simple get operation with no output schema, the description covers the basic action and resource scope. It does not mention that the connection must exist or describe the return format, but the tool name and context provide enough for an agent. Could be more complete with a note on prerequisites.

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 0%, meaning the description does not explain the purpose of the 'vhost' and 'name' parameters beyond their names. Parameters are succinct but lack semantic context (e.g., 'name' could be the stream connection name). The description should elaborate on what each parameter represents.

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 'Get' and identifies the resource 'publishers' scoped to a specific stream connection in a vhost. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list-stream-publishers' which list all publishers without a connection filter.

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?

The description implies usage when you need publishers for a single known connection, but it does not explicitly contrast with list-stream-publishers or list-stream-publishers-vhost-stream, nor provide when-not-to-use guidance. The context is clear but lacks exclusionary cues.

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