get_asset_file_set_details

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It hints at aggregation ('combined view') but does not state whether results are paginated, how deep the file records are nested, whether storage names are resolved/enriched, or what happens for an unknown asset_id. For an aggregation endpoint, response size and shape are material and undisclosed.

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?

A single sentence that earns each word: 'combined view' signals aggregation, 'all file sets' sets scope, and 'storage names and file records' states the returned content. Front-loaded verb and resource, zero filler.

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 and no annotations, the description must convey what the caller receives and any caveats. It states the high-level contents but not the response structure, pagination, or why it is preferred over siblings. For a one-param tool the input side is simple, but the output side is under-specified for an aggregation endpoint.

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% — the schema already documents asset_id as 'The asset UUID' with format and pattern constraints. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond loosely tying asset_id to the asset being queried, so the baseline of 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 uses a clear verb ('Get') and names a specific resource: a 'combined view of all file sets for an asset with storage names and file records.' The content detail (storage names, file records) and 'combined view' phrasing distinguish it from siblings like list_asset_file_sets or get_asset_file_set, though it never names the contrast explicitly.

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 call this tool versus the many closely related siblings (list_asset_file_sets, get_asset_file_set, list_file_set_files, list_asset_files). With such a dense sibling cluster, the absence of any when-to-use or when-not-to-use direction leaves the agent to guess whether it needs the aggregated view or a simple list.

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