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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is fully covered and "Read-only" in the description is largely redundant. The description does add one useful behavioral fact – that the result is a fixed enumerated set of camera views – but says nothing about return shape or ordering. Adequate against an already-strong annotation block.

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?

One compact sentence with the resource and its values front-loaded and no filler. The phrasing is slightly awkward ("the camera views ... a shot can use") but nothing is 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 trivial one-parameter lookup this is nearly complete, but with no output schema the description should still confirm what is returned (a list of camera-view identifiers) and whether it is scoped to the board. The value enumeration partially compensates.

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 100% and there is a single required board_id, so the schema carries the parameter burden fully. The description adds no format or sourcing detail beyond what the schema already states, making the baseline 3 correct.

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?

Names a specific resource (camera views) and enumerates its values (front, side, back, crops), which is enough to distinguish it from sibling list/enumeration tools like mcp_workflow_assets or mcp_workflow_tags. The verb is implicit rather than stated, but the intent is clear.

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?

"For the automation builder" implies the context in which this lookup is needed, but there is no explicit when-to-use statement, no named alternative, and no prerequisites beyond the schema's board_id. Usage is inferable rather than spelled out.

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