query_printer_detail

Retrieve detailed printer capabilities and specifications for specific devices. Check supported paper sizes, color modes, and duplex options to verify device settings before printing.

Instructions

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to specify what 'capabilities' are returned, error handling behavior (e.g., printer not found), or whether this operation requires specific permissions. The term 'Query' implies read-only, but explicit confirmation is absent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The single-sentence description is efficiently structured and front-loaded with the action and target. However, extreme brevity becomes a liability given the lack of schema documentation and annotations, leaving critical information unstated.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Inadequate for the tool's complexity. With three optional parameters (suggesting multiple query patterns), zero schema descriptions, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should explain parameter relationships, return value structure, and lookup precedence. It provides none of these.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Given 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate but only partially succeeds. It mentions 'specific printer or shared device' implying 'printer_name' and 'share_sn', but does not explain the distinction between them, valid values for 'device_type', or that all parameters are optional with null defaults.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description provides a clear verb ('Query') and resource ('printer capabilities'), and distinguishes from sibling 'query_printers' by specifying 'for a specific printer'. However, it could better differentiate from the 'update_printer_*' siblings by explicitly stating this is a read-only information retrieval operation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance provided on when to use this versus 'query_printers', or how to select between the identification parameters ('printer_name' vs 'share_sn'). The description does not indicate that all parameters are optional or suggest how to identify the target device.

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