get_latest_commit

Read-only

The current head commit of an account's repository (com.atproto.sync.getLatestCommit): its commit CID and revision. The cheapest way to fingerprint a repo or detect whether it changed since you last looked, without downloading data. Complements get_repo_status (which has the rev but not the commit CID). Input is a handle or DID.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond them: that this is the cheapest/lightweight option and avoids downloading data, which tells the agent about cost. It stops short of noting rate limits or response latency, so it is not a 5.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, then the discriminating use case, then the sibling contrast. Efficient overall, though the final 'Input is a handle or DID' sentence is redundant with the schema and could be dropped.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the description still helpfully previews the CID/revision payload. For a single-param read tool, nothing an agent needs to call it correctly or route away from get_repo_status is missing.

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 'repo' param is already documented as 'A handle or DID.' The description's 'Input is a handle or DID' simply restates the schema, adding no syntax or format detail. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('the current head commit of an account's repository') and names exactly what it returns (commit CID and revision). It explicitly contrasts itself with the sibling get_repo_status, so an agent can distinguish the two without opening either schema.

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?

Provides a clear when-to-use condition ('the cheapest way to fingerprint a repo or detect whether it changed since you last looked, without downloading data') and names the alternative (get_repo_status) plus the discriminator (it has the rev but not the commit CID). Routing is unambiguous.

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