C2.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description does add that the response includes all blocks, useful since there is no output schema, but "Free" is unexplained (cost? no billing? free-tier limitation?) and failure modes for an unknown name go unstated.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Brief, but it is a sentence fragment with an orphaned trailing word ("Free.") that spends a sentence slot without clear meaning. Brevity here is under-specification rather than economy; nothing is wasted, but not much is communicated either.

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?

One parameter and no output schema, so the description should at minimum say this returns the full view definition and note what happens when the name is unknown. It hints at block content but omits lookup-failure behavior and any notion of how the returned structure should feed a subsequent edit.

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% and the single name parameter is documented with an example ("weekly-sales"), so the schema carries the burden. The description says nothing about the parameter, which is acceptable at this coverage level but adds no value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The text is a noun phrase ("A saved view with all its blocks") rather than a verb+resource statement, so the agent must infer the action from the tool name and title. It conveys scope (all blocks) but never says "read" or "retrieve" explicitly in the body; "to change part of it" gestures at a purpose without committing.

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?

"to change part of it" weakly implies this is a read-before-edit step, the only usage hint present. No sibling is named as an alternative or complement, even though view_show, view_list, view_link and view_save exist and the read/edit handoff is precisely where an agent would need routing.

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