get_public_route

Read-onlyIdempotent

One public route by id, with waypoint coordinates and a citeUrl. Private routes are rejected. Use match_chargers_along_route with the waypoints to find chargers.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds meaningful behavior beyond them: private routes are rejected (an error condition an agent should anticipate) and it names the salient return fields, which no output schema provides.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three short sentences, each doing distinct work: what it returns, what input is rejected, and which sibling to chain into. Nothing is redundant and the core purpose is front-loaded.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a single-parameter read with no output schema, the description covers the essentials: identity of the resource, rejection of private ids, and a partial picture of the return shape (waypoints, citeUrl). Only minor gaps remain, such as what a not-found or rejected response looks like.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the single 'id' parameter is documented as a public route id. The description adds the domain constraint that the id must belong to a public route, which is meaning beyond the schema's bare type declaration.

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 with scope: 'One public route by id', and immediately names what comes back (waypoint coordinates, citeUrl). It is clearly distinguishable from list_public_routes (plural listing) and from the route-planning siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives an explicit follow-up path: use match_chargers_along_route with the returned waypoints to find chargers, plus a hard constraint that private routes are rejected. It does not explicitly contrast with list_public_routes for discovery, but the single-id retrieval context is unambiguous.

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