Get Cluster

clusters.get
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get one principle cluster by stable slug. Returns the cluster definition, shared rationale, and the full set of member principles (slug + title) so the caller can pivot into principles.get without a second list call. WHEN TO CALL: the user has already named a specific cluster (e.g. 'delegation', 'visibility', 'trust', 'orchestration') OR you have a slug from a prior clusters.list / principles.list response and need its full definition + member principles. The response embeds member principle slugs + titles already, so DO NOT loop principles.get over each member to get a cluster overview — read the response. WHEN NOT TO CALL: the user is describing a topic, failure mode, or keyword in natural language (call principles.search instead); the user wants to discover which clusters exist (call clusters.list); the user wants the definition of one specific principle (call principles.get directly). Idempotent + cacheable per slug. Returns 404-shaped error_payload on unknown slug — the slug must match exactly the value emitted by clusters.list, with no normalization.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral context: the response embeds member principles (avoiding extra calls), specifies idempotency and cacheability, and warns of a 404 error payload on unknown slug. No contradiction with annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is well-structured with clear sections and every sentence adds value. It is slightly verbose with repeated alternatives in the WHEN NOT TO CALL section, but overall it is appropriately sized and front-loaded with the main purpose.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given that an output schema exists (not shown), the description adequately describes the response content (cluster definition, shared rationale, member principle slugs+titles) and error behavior. For a single-parameter read-only tool with good annotations, this is exhaustive and leaves no ambiguity.

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 coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add much beyond the schema. It provides example slugs in the usage guidance (e.g., 'delegation', 'visibility'), which adds some context. However, no additional semantics about slug format or normalization beyond what the schema already states.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states 'Get one principle cluster by stable slug', identifying a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like clusters.list (discover clusters) and principles.get (get a single principle) by detailing differences in response content and use case.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description includes explicit 'WHEN TO CALL' and 'WHEN NOT TO CALL' sections with concrete scenarios (e.g., user named a cluster, or has a slug) and lists alternative tools (principles.search, clusters.list, principles.get) for exclusion.

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

A4.6/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a clearly distinct purpose. For example, architect.validate vs architect.validate_consensus differ in single-shot vs consensus; handoffs.agency, handoffs.operator, and handoffs.partnership are separated by engagement type. No significant overlap.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tools follow a consistent dot-notation grouping (architect.*, clusters.*, examples.*, guides.*, handoffs.*, me.*, principles.*, signals.*, team.*) with predictable verbs (validate, list, get, search, add, etc.). Minor deviation: some underscore within names (e.g., me.add_evidence) but overall pattern holds.

Tool Count4/5

24 tools is on the higher side but justified given the broad domain spanning validation, certification, learning, handoffs, and feedback. Each tool has a clear role, and the count reflects the platform's comprehensive scope without feeling bloated.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full workflow (validate → consensus → certify), discovery (principles, clusters, examples, guides), personal progress (learning path, coaching, evidence), handoffs (support, partnership, agency), feedback, and team summaries. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
