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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states it returns a detail, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, side effects, or whether it is read-only. The description is insufficient for an agent to assess safe usage.

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 sentence of nine words, which is very concise and front-loaded. However, the brevity sacrifices some informative content about what the 'detail' includes.

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?

Given the low complexity (one parameter, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It tells the agent the tool's basic purpose but does not describe the return format or any additional context like whether the id is required. An agent might still need to guess what 'detail' entails.

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. It mentions the parameter 'id' and its format (16-char hex), but does not add semantic meaning beyond the schema's regex pattern. For a single required parameter, a baseline 3 is appropriate as the description provides minimal added context.

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 it returns a single tool detail by a 16-char hex id, using a specific verb ('get') and resource ('tool detail'). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like scry_asn, scry_campaign, etc., which may also return details by id.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. It is implied that one uses this when they have a specific 16-char hex id, but no when-not or alternative names (e.g., scry_tools for listing) are given.

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