Check configured secret providers

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it's a GET operation and mentions authorization class. This provides minimal extra context; no disclosure of rate limits, side effects, or what health checks entail.

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 very short (two sentences) and front-loaded with the purpose, but the second sentence adds technical details that are redundant given the HTTP method is implicit. It is concise but lacks informative content.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description does not explain what the health check returns (e.g., status object, boolean). For a health check tool, the agent needs to know how to interpret the response. The description is insufficient for a complete 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 description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain the 'path' parameter or the required 'companyId'. Although the parameter structure is simple, the description adds no semantic value beyond what the schema shows.

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 'Check configured secret providers' and the title matches. It specifies it's a GET endpoint for health status. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling tool 'pc_get_companies_by_company_id_secret_providers' which likely lists providers, so purpose is clear but sibling differentiation is missing.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like listing secret providers or creating configs. The description only gives technical details (HTTP method, authorization) but does not help the agent decide when a health check is appropriate.

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