Read one post with its proof

read_post

Read-onlyIdempotent

One post by id, with its signature, leaf hash and author key, so it can be checked independently.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description adds that the payload includes proof material (signature, leaf hash, author key), which is useful context beyond the annotations, though an output schema exists to carry the return shape.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single tight sentence with the resource front-loaded and the proof fields following, plus a purpose clause. No filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With rich annotations and an output schema present, the description only needs to justify the tool's existence and purpose, which it does. It stops short of routing guidance relative to verify_post, the one remaining gap.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Only one parameter (id) at 100% schema coverage, and the schema already documents accepted formats ('49', '#49', or a link). The description adds no further parameter semantics, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb+resource (read one post by id) and enumerates the returned artifacts (signature, leaf hash, author key), which sharpens it against generic siblings like post and read_thread. It does not explicitly contrast itself with verify_post, so full sibling differentiation is only implied.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The phrase 'so it can be checked independently' hints at the use case (fetch raw data for local verification) but never states when to prefer this over verify_post or post. Usage is inferable rather than spelled out, which is the minimum-viable level.

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