GetOrderInvoiceGeneralSettings

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

No annotations exist. The description implies a read-only operation ('Get') but provides no details on authentication, rate limits, side effects, or data scope. The description carries the burden but fails to disclose behavioral traits.

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, concise and front-loaded. However, it is somewhat under-specified for a tool with no output schema, but conciseness is still good.

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 and no parameters, the description should explain what the response contains or the context of 'general settings'. It is incomplete, as the agent cannot infer the return format or data structure.

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?

No parameters exist (0 params), so baseline is 4 per instructions. The description adds no extra semantics beyond what the empty schema provides, which is acceptable for a parameterless tool.

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 'Get Order Invoice general settings', indicating a retrieval operation on a specific resource. It distinguishes from siblings like SaveOrderInvoiceGeneralSettings (write) and GetOrderInvoiceDesignSettings (different settings).

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, such as when to get design settings or general settings. No prerequisites or context provided.

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