search_bugs_by_product_series_fixed

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

No annotations provided, but the description compensates by detailing constraints like single status limitation and version format requirements. Could add more on pagination or rate limits, but sufficient for a read-heavy search tool.

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?

Every sentence adds value; no redundancy or fluff. Front-loaded with purpose then constraint details. Well-structured and easy to parse.

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?

Given 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the core functionality, formatting tips, and key constraints. Slight gap on result structure or example, but overall complete.

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 100%, but the description adds significant meaning beyond the schema, such as clarifying severity values, version format, and status usage. Enhances understanding of parameter behavior.

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 searches bugs by product series and fixed releases, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes from sibling tools like search_bugs_by_product_series_affected and multi_severity_search.

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?

Explicitly explains when to use this tool (for searching by fixed releases) and when not (e.g., for severity ranges, use multi_severity_search). Provides critical formatting notes and valid input ranges.

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