get_identity_field_configuration

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

No annotations provided. Description discloses returned data and effect of identityId, but does not explicitly state read-only nature, permissions, or rate limits. Acceptable but could improve.

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. Front-loaded with purpose, followed by return details and optional parameter use.

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 getter with one optional param and no output schema, description covers return types and parameter effect. Missing details on pagination or prerequisites, but adequate.

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 provides full description for the only parameter. Description paraphrases schema without adding new semantic value, meeting baseline but not exceeding.

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?

Clear verb 'Get' and resource 'identity field configuration' specified. Lists returned data types. Distinguishes from siblings like 'get_identity_custom_fields' as it covers broader configuration.

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?

States when to use optional identityId parameter. Implicitly differentiates from sibling tools focused on identity CRUD or custom fields, but no explicit 'when not to use' or alternatives.

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