get_ads_config

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It describes the tool as detecting 'presence,' implying a read-only operation, but does not disclose what 'presence' means (e.g., checking for specific files, settings, or code patterns) or any behavioral traits like permissions or side effects. It is adequate but lacks depth.

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 efficient sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose without any extraneous words. It is front-loaded and earns its place.

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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is mostly sufficient. It tells the user what the tool detects. However, it could benefit from a brief note on what the detection entails (e.g., checking for SDK files in the project).

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?

The tool has zero parameters with 100% schema coverage, so baseline is 4. The description correctly adds no extra parameter information. No further clarification needed.

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 states the tool detects ad SDK presence and lists specific SDKs (Unity Ads, AdMob, ironSource). It uses a specific verb 'detect' and identifies the resource, making its purpose unambiguous. Among many sibling 'get_*' tools, this one's focus on ad SDKs distinguishes it effectively.

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. Given the large number of sibling tools, the lack of contextual usage hints (e.g., when to check ad SDKs vs other configs) is a significant gap.

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