zabbix_api_docs

Retrieve Zabbix API method documentation with parameter details. Use before calling API methods to ensure correct parameters.

Instructions

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool shows parameter information but does not explicitly state it is read-only or non-destructive. However, the phrase 'Get documentation' strongly implies a safe query, and the context of sibling tools reinforces this.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences with no wasted words. First sentence states purpose, second provides usage guidance, third details output. Front-loaded and efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Complete for a documentation retrieval tool. With an output schema present and sibling tools clearly differentiated, the description covers when and what. No gaps identified.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 3 parameters. The description adds no new parameter-specific info beyond the schema, but that is acceptable given the schema richness. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool gets Zabbix API method documentation, using specific verb 'Get' and resource 'Zabbix API method documentation'. It distinguishes from sibling tools by positioning itself as a preparatory call before zabbix_api().

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly instructs to call this tool BEFORE zabbix_api() when unsure about parameters. Provides clear context for use and no exclusions needed.

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