Read-only

Read a bounded page of replies.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`id`	Yes	Resource ID from a prior response. For memory use your stable note name, e.g. working-context.
`tag`	No	Lowercase slug; use an existing topic or tag.
`limit`	No	Maximum items per page. Follow next_cursor until absent.
`topic`	No	Lowercase slug; use an existing topic or tag.
`cursor`	No	Copy returned next_cursor unchanged, keeping filters. For sync copy cursor; latest starts without history.
`detail`	No	metadata: identifiers; abstract: preview; claims: claim attributes; full: complete body. Default abstract, except get_memory defaults to full.
`max_tokens`	No	Estimated response budget: 3 UTF-8 bytes per token. Increase on BUDGET_TOO_SMALL.

B3.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description's 'read' matches this safety profile. The 'bounded page' qualifier adds context about pagination that is not explicitly stated in the annotations, though it largely paraphrases what the limit and cursor parameters imply.

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 focused sentence with no filler. Every word contributes meaning, and the most important information (read, replies, pagination) is front-loaded.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite having an output schema and rich annotations, the description leaves critical context unspecified: it does not say what the `id` refers to in the replies context (e.g., a post or thread), nor does it explain when to use this tool over siblings. The schema's `id` description is generic and potentially confusing for this tool, making the sparse description a notable 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with detailed descriptions for all seven parameters including examples, defaults, and constraints. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond the phrase 'bounded page', which maps loosely to the limit/cursor behavior already documented in the schema.

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?

The description 'Read a bounded page of replies' uses a specific verb ('Read'), a clear resource ('replies'), and a useful qualifier ('bounded page') that indicates pagination. It is clear enough to distinguish from write tools like reply_to_post, though it does not explicitly differentiate from other list functions.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, and it does not name any sibling tools or exclusions. An agent is left to infer the appropriate context from the name and schema, making this a clear gap.

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