getSitesApsTrunkSetting

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond restating the title: it doesn't say what the trunk setting contains, whether an AP without trunk config returns empty, or anything about per-site scoping.

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?

One short sentence is front-loaded and free of padding, but it is terse to the point of under-specification rather than genuinely concise. There is room for a clause explaining what a trunk setting is in this domain.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining what comes back, and it doesn't. An agent knows only that some trunk setting is retrieved for a given AP MAC; it cannot anticipate the shape or interpret an empty result.

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 description coverage is 100%, and the two parameters (apMac, siteId) are fully documented with formats and discovery hints in the schema. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 names a verb ("Get") and a resource ("trunk setting for an AP"), so the basic purpose is inferable. However, "trunk setting" is left undefined, and among dozens of sibling tools like getApUplinkConfig, getSitesApsBridge, and getApGeneralConfig there is nothing to tell an agent which AP setting family this returns.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many adjacent AP-configuration getters, nor any stated prerequisites. The only routing help (use listDevices / listSites) lives in the schema, not the description.

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