get_model_profile_settings

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

No annotations provided; the description does not disclose side effects (likely none), permissions, or other behavioral details beyond parameter constraints. It mentions caller_agent_id is required, but this is contradicted by the schema where it's optional with default null.

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 concise with a clear docstring structure (Args/Returns). It is front-loaded with the purpose sentence and no extraneous 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?

The tool has an output schema, but the description only says 'Returns profile settings details' without further context. Parameter coverage is minimal, and there's no usage example or error handling. The description does not fully compensate for the 0% schema coverage.

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 0%, so description must explain parameters. It provides basic meaning for 'profile' (name, optional, defaults to all) and 'caller_agent_id' (caller ID), but lacks format or allowed values. The description claims caller_agent_id is required, conflicting with schema (default null, no required array).

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 states it retrieves model profile settings details, with the ability to specify one profile or all. It distinguishes from siblings like get_model_profile (likely gets a single profile) and switch_model_profile, but could be more explicit about the differences.

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 get_model_profile or switch_model_profile. The description simply explains what it does without context on selection.

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