A form's questions

get_form
Read-onlyIdempotent

The questions of a programme form or survey the person was asked to fill, with each question's id and the form's link in the web app.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully discloses what comes back (question ids plus a web-app link), which matters because there is no output schema, but it says nothing about ordering, pagination, or what happens when the form id is unknown or not assigned to the person.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single compact sentence with no filler, and the returned-field detail is packed into the same clause rather than a trailing paragraph. The noun-phrase construction is slightly less scannable than a leading verb would be.

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 two-required-parameter read-only getter with full schema coverage and complete annotations, the description supplies the one thing structured fields cannot: what the payload contains. Remaining gaps (ordering, empty/unknown-form behavior) are minor for this level of tool complexity.

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 description coverage is 100%, so both 'form_id' and 'program' are already documented, and the description adds little beyond confirming that the form belongs to one of the person's programmes. Baseline 3 applies when the schema carries the parameter burden.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description names a concrete resource (the questions of a programme form or survey) and the per-item fields returned (question id and the form's web-app link), which is more than the title conveys. It lacks an explicit verb and never contrasts itself with the get_* siblings, so an agent must infer that this is the single-form retrieval counterpart to list_my_programs and similar tools.

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 or when-not-to-use statement and no alternative tool is named. The only scoping hint is that the form is one 'the person was asked to fill', which is a prerequisite rather than usage guidance.

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