get_radius_profile

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only explains parameter formats and does not disclose behaviors like read-only nature, permission requirements, error conditions, or response characteristics beyond what an output schema might imply.

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 and well-structured: a one-sentence purpose followed by three terse parameter clarifications. No redundant or filler 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?

Given a simple get operation and an output schema, the description is functional but incomplete. It lacks usage context (like when to use get vs list) and does not address potential authentication or error scenarios. The parameter semantics are minimal, and no annotations supplement the missing guidance.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining host ('console name, ID, or composite ID'), site ('site name or ID'), and profile_id ('RADIUS profile ID'). However, the explanation is shallow and lacks format details like the composite ID structure beyond a mention.

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 action ('Get') and the resource ('single RADIUS authentication profile by ID'). It is distinct from sibling tools like list_radius_profiles and create_radius_profile, so the purpose is unambiguous.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_radius_profiles. There is no mention of prerequisites, scenarios, or cases where this tool should be preferred.

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