Depends on how its used. In some cases the context implies the key length whereas in others the only way is to actually see what key length it sets after being called. Even then there are exceptions: for example some S/MIME mail clients use an RC2 physical key length of 192 bits but set the effective key length to a lower value such as 64 bits.
