Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered structurally. The description adds only the vague qualifier 'detailed information' and does not say whether the response includes its answers, metadata, or attachments, so it contributes little beyond the annotations.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition; it is efficiently sized for the simplicity of the tool, though it is generic rather than information-dense.
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?
With no output schema and a trivial input, the description should at least sketch what 'detailed information' returns (e.g., answer set, template linkage) and how it differs from get_form_response_answer. As written it is minimally sufficient but leaves a plausible ambiguity unresolved.
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 uuid parameter already documented as 'Form response ID'. 'By its ID' merely restates the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate for a one-parameter lookup.
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?
States a specific verb (Get) and resource (form response) plus the lookup key (by its ID), so the operation is unambiguous. However, it does nothing to distinguish itself from near-identical siblings such as get_form_response_answer, list_form_responses, or get_form_template, which a reader must infer from names alone.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this versus list_form_responses (fetch many) or get_form_response_answer / list_form_response_answers (fetch the answer content of a response). The agent gets no condition, prerequisite, or alternative routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
