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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the operation without any details on rate limits, response format, error behavior, or read-only confirmation, which is insufficient for a batch operation.

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 concise sentence, making it easy to parse and front-loaded with the key action. It is efficient but slightly over-terse, lacking any elaboration, though no words are wasted.

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?

For a simple batch getter, the absence of output schema and annotations means the description must explain what is returned, limits, or usage context. It does not, leaving the agent with only a name and schema as guidance, which is minimal but barely adequate for a trivial tool.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it does not. The only parameter 'ids' is mentioned indirectly ('by IDs') without any clarification of format, constraints, or semantics beyond what the schema already stores, adding minimal value.

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 ('batch get') and resource ('prompt details by IDs'), making the purpose evident. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like get_prompts, but the focus on 'by IDs' implies a specific use case, yielding a clear if not fully differentiated purpose.

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 such as get_prompts. The description does not mention contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent without direction for tool selection.

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