Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it only restates the purpose. 'Get' implies a safe read, but the description does not say what a 'detail' includes, what happens if the profile_id is unknown, or whether any permissions are required.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One short, front-loaded sentence with zero waste. It is arguably under-specified rather than overly long, but nothing is redundant.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter read tool with a fully documented schema and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate, but it omits any hint at the return shape ('details' is vague) and offers no usage context relative to its many siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with a single well-documented parameter, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds nothing beyond the schema, which is the appropriate baseline 3 for full-coverage schemas.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb (Get) and resource (details of a single profile), and the word 'single' implicitly distinguishes it from list_profiles. It does not explicitly name the list_profiles alternative, but an agent can still tell the fetch-one vs list-many distinction from the phrasing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the sibling list_profiles it pairs with. The only routing hint ('use list_profiles to discover IDs') lives in the schema, not the description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
