Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so safety behavior is fully covered elsewhere. The description's one contribution is signaling the return shape ('status and counts'), which is modest added value, but it says nothing about behavior for a missing or invalid id.
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 fragment with zero filler — nothing to cut. It is terse to the point of under-specification, but that is a completeness issue rather than a conciseness one.
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 one-parameter read tool with full annotations, full schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is adequate: it names the returned content so the agent knows what comes back. It omits any note about failure modes or how it relates to list_campaigns, leaving minor gaps.
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 coverage is 100% and there is a single required integer id already documented as 'Campaign id from list_campaigns.' The description adds no format, range, or sourcing detail beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline applies.
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 the resource ('one campaign') and hints at payload ('status and counts'), which distinguishes it from list_campaigns as a single-item fetch. However, it never states a verb and never names list_campaigns or any sibling explicitly, so the differentiation is implied rather than stated.
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 provides no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The only routing hint ('Campaign id from list_campaigns') lives in the schema property description, not in the tool description itself.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
