get_proxy_public_url

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It indicates a read operation and conditional availability, but it does not explain what happens when a public URL is not available, whether authentication is required, whether the URL expires, or any side effects.

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, focused sentence with no redundant wording. Every part earns its place, including the 'if available' qualifier that conveys conditionality.

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?

This is a low-complexity, two-parameter retrieval tool with no output schema. The description explicitly identifies the returned artifact (a public streaming URL) and the availability condition. It does not detail error behavior, but for this simple read operation the core information an agent needs is present.

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%, with both parameters described as UUIDs for the asset and proxy. The description adds no new parameter-level detail beyond the schema, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents the parameters adequately.

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 states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('public streaming URL for a proxy'), with the caveat 'if available' adding meaningful scope. This clearly distinguishes it from the sibling get_proxy_download_url, which serves a different need.

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?

The description implies usage when a public streaming URL is needed, and the sibling name get_proxy_download_url offers an implicit contrast. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or mention any conditions or exclusions.

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