get-database-service

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

No annotations provided; the description implies a read-only operation but doesn't explicitly state it. Minimal behavioral disclosure beyond the basic get.

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?

Single sentence, no redundancy. Appropriate for a simple get operation, though could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness.

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?

No output schema, so return details are unspecified. Does not explain the 'include' parameter's effect or differentiate from many sibling get tools. Incomplete for an agent to fully understand usage.

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 low (33%); only 'id' has a description. The tool description adds no semantics for 'fields' or 'include', leaving the agent uninformed about their purpose.

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 'Get database service details by UUID', specifying the verb, resource, and method of identification. It distinguishes from sibling 'get-database-service-by-name' by the identifier type.

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-database-service-by-name or other get-* tools. Usage context is entirely absent.

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