sophos_get_regional_health_scores

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description is not required to disclose those. The description adds context about regional comparisons but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as data freshness, authentication requirements, or rate limits. With annotations covering safety, a score of 3 is appropriate.

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 two sentences: the first states the action and resource, the second explains the purpose. No redundant or unnecessary content. It is concise and front-loaded.

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?

The tool has no output schema, so the description should indicate what the response contains. It mentions 'health score comparisons' but does not specify details like regional average, percentile, or fields included. For a simple retrieval with one parameter, this is adequate but could be more informative.

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 only parameter 'tenant_id' is fully described in the schema as 'Tenant UUID.' The description does not add additional meaning or constraints beyond what the schema already provides. With 100% schema description coverage, baseline is 3.

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 'Get account health score comparisons against regional peers,' specifying the action and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'sophos_get_account_health' and 'sophos_get_health_scores_history' by focusing on regional benchmarking.

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 says 'Useful for benchmarking your tenant's security posture against similar tenants in your region,' which provides a clear use case. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use this tool or alternative tools like 'sophos_get_account_health' for non-comparative health data.

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