getSitesSwitchesEs

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 no behavioral detail beyond that — it doesn't say what data is returned, whether it is site-scoped, or how it differs from a full switch detail read.

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 with no wasted words, but it is under-specified rather than concise. Brevity here costs information rather than saving it.

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 is the only place to learn what 'info' comprises, and it says nothing. For a per-switch lookup tool that overlaps heavily with switch siblings, this leaves the agent unable to judge what it will get back.

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%; both siteId and switchMac are documented with patterns and discovery hints (listSites, listDevices). The description adds nothing beyond the schema, 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 has a verb ('Get') and a resource ('easy managed switch info'), and 'easy managed' hints at a specific switch class. But 'info' is vague about what is actually returned, and nothing distinguishes it from the many sibling retrieval tools such as getSwitchDetail or getSitesSwitchesEsGeneralConfig.

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 rather than getSwitchDetail, getSwitchGeneralConfig, or the other switch-related siblings. The agent must infer the use case from the name alone.

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