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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, non-open-world, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description's enumeration of returned content is genuinely useful since no output schema exists, but it says nothing about behavior on a missing/expired/unpublished id or any access constraints.

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 that leads with the core verb+resource before the field enumeration. Every clause earns its place, though the trailing list is slightly dense rather than partitioned.

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 one-param read-only lookup, the description covers what an agent needs: it defines the unit (one published notice) and compensates for the absent output schema by listing the returned content. Only the not-found/edge-case behavior is missing.

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?

One parameter at 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already explains that id is a notice id from search_notices or a notice link. The description adds no format, length, or lookup-behavior detail beyond that. Baseline 3 applies.

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 (one published funeral notice) and enumerates exactly what the payload contains — services, locations, livestream info, funeral home, memorial page. It implicitly contrasts with the search_* siblings by emphasizing retrieval of a single notice, but never names an alternative explicitly.

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 explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative routing in the description. The only usage signal is indirect: the schema notes the id comes 'from search_notices,' which is schema text, not description text. An agent must infer that this is the follow-up to search_notices.

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