get_conversation

One chat conversation: every message in order (role, content, run_id, created_at) and every run it holds, with their hooks. Same shape as GET /v1/conversations/{conversation_id}. Free. Errors: 404 conversation_not_found, 422 for an id that is not a UUID.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does well by disclosing that the tool is 'Free,' the exact error codes (404, 422), and that the response matches a known REST endpoint. It does not discuss authentication or rate limits, but the provided information meaningfully exceeds the schema.

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 tightly packed sentences: return content, REST equivalence, and error/cost. No redundant words, and the most useful information is front-loaded. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given the output schema, the return shape is covered, but the description still lacks guidance on how to obtain conversation_id (e.g., via list_conversations) and what happens with an invalid or missing api_key. With no annotations and zero schema descriptions, a bit more context about prerequisites and authentication would be expected.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It implicitly covers conversation_id through the REST path and UUID error, but api_key is never mentioned or explained—leaving the agent to guess its purpose or whether it is required.

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 it returns one chat conversation with every message in order and all runs/hooks, and even names the exact REST endpoint. This singular framing distinguishes it from siblings like list_conversations, making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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?

No direct guidance is given about when to use this tool versus list_conversations or get_run, nor does it mention that a conversation_id must first be obtained via list_conversations. The only implied usage is from the tool name and 'One chat conversation,' which is insufficient.

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