C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose one genuinely useful behavioral trait: the payload contains member handles with 'no ids/PII', telling the agent the result is privacy-safe to surface. It says nothing about permissions, behavior on an unknown/unauthorized id, or whether the result is cached/limited.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

One short sentence, so there is no bloat, but the leading '[KEEP · internal]' tag is curation metadata that consumes the most prominent position without helping an agent decide or invoke. The useful content is not front-loaded.

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?

For a one-parameter getter with no output schema, describing the returned entity (topic, member handles, shared cards) is the right kind of content and is partially complete. Missing: what the id identifies, error/empty behavior, and any access constraints — the same gaps the absent annotations would otherwise have covered.

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?

The single required 'id' parameter has 0% schema description coverage and the description adds nothing about it — it never says what kind of id is expected (group id vs. member handle vs. slug) or its format. The 'no ids/PII' note refers to the response, not the input parameter.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description never states a verb; it only characterizes the payload ('A study group: topic, member handles, and shared-study cards'). From the name group_get an agent can infer retrieval, but it is not differentiated from siblings like groups_list or group_contribute, so the purpose is only implied.

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 guidance, no mention of prerequisites (e.g. membership), and no routing to alternatives such as groups_list for enumeration. The agent must infer that this fetches a single group by id.

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