get_effective_client_scope_realm_scope_mappings

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It states it retrieves roles but does not disclose side effects, idempotency, or whether it is a read-only operation. The term 'effective (composite)' adds some context but lacks completeness.

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 with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource. However, the phrase 'for a client scope's scope' is slightly ambiguous and could be clearer.

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 read operation with high schema coverage, the description minimally explains the return value ('effective composite realm-level roles'). However, it lacks explanation of what 'composite' means and how it relates to other scope mapping tools, leaving the agent with gaps in understanding.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-specific meaning beyond the schema's minimal descriptions ('Realm name', 'Client scope ID'). No further clarification or usage context is provided.

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 indicates it retrieves effective composite realm-level roles for a client scope, using the verb 'Get' and specifying the resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_available_client_scope_realm_scope_mappings or get_client_scope_realm_scope_mappings, which have similar names and purposes.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as get_client_scope_realm_scope_mappings or get_available_client_scope_realm_scope_mappings. There is no mention of prerequisites or context.

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