Get_Package

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 states 'retrieve details' but does not disclose whether the operation is idempotent, what side effects (if any) exist, performance implications, or what 'details' encompasses. For a read-like operation, more transparency about the nature of the data returned is needed.

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 sentence, making it concise but lacking substance. It does not include any additional structure or front-loaded key information. While it is short, it misses the opportunity to add value.

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 the complexity (one parameter, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'details' means, the format of the output, or any special behavior. A retrieval tool should give the user an idea of what is returned.

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% (one parameter with description). The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema; it only repeats the parameter's purpose indirectly. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 ('Retrieve') and the resource ('ABAP package details'). Among sibling tools like Get_Class, Get_Function, etc., it is uniquely identifiable as targeting ABAP packages.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list implies it is one of many 'Get_*' tools for ABAP objects, but there is no explicit context like 'Use this for package details; for other objects, use the corresponding Get_* tool'.

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