ncloud_list_mongodb_backup_details

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

The description adds little beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. It doesn't disclose response format, pagination, or any operation-specific behavior. The only extra context is 'detailed,' which is more about purpose than a behavioral trait.

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 with no filler. It front-loads the verb and resource clearly, making every word earn 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 simple read-only list tool with a single parameter and full schema coverage, the description is largely sufficient. However, it doesn't explain what 'detailed' includes or return conventions, and there's no output schema to compensate.

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 single parameter is fully described in the schema (cloudMongoDbInstanceNo with description). The description adds no extra parameter-level meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 lists detailed backup information for a Cloud DB for MongoDB instance, with a specific verb and resource. The word 'detailed' hints at a distinction from the simpler backup listing sibling, but it doesn't explicitly name alternatives.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over ncloud_list_mongodb_backups or other MongoDB tools, nor any prerequisites or intended scenarios.

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