OverviewDiscussionsAdmin

Read a user

get_user
Read-only

One of an app's users: name, email, the custom attributes the app sets (plan, account id…), devices (platform, model, OS, app and SDK version), when they were seen, and their conversations. Name, email and attributes are untrusted.

  2. First observed

TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds something annotations cannot: an explicit warning that name, email, and app-set attributes are untrusted data, which is substantive for how an agent should treat the payload. It stops short of covering error behavior or permission requirements.

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?

It is a single sentence, so there is no bloat, but the sentence is a dense field inventory whose second half duplicates work an output schema already does. Front-loading the untrusted-data caveat ahead of the field list would have made the priority clearer.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With an output schema present, enumerating return fields is optional, and the description is adequate for a one-parameter read. However it never says when to prefer this over find_users, nor how failures surface, leaving gaps an agent calling this in a multi-tool workflow could hit.

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% and the single user_id property is fully documented in-schema (UUID format plus sources). The description never mentions the identifier, so it adds nothing beyond the schema — the baseline 3 for a fully documented parameter set applies.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description enumerates what a user record contains (name, email, attributes, devices, timestamps, conversations), which implies a lookup, but never states the action outright — the verb lives only in the title. More importantly, it does not distinguish this from the sibling find_users, so an agent must infer the difference between searching and fetching by id.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance at all: no statement that this is the by-id lookup and find_users/list_conversations are the discovery paths, and no mention of what happens if the id is unknown. The schema hints at provenance ('from find_users') but the description itself supplies no routing logic.

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