Details of one assistant

get_assistant
Read-onlyIdempotent

Full details of one catalog assistant by id (e.g. P01): the problem, what it does, who it is for, setup time, where it already runs.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine value by summarizing the returned content fields, which matters because there is no output schema, but it says nothing about behavior when the id is unknown or about the lang parameter.

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?

A single sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, and the field enumeration earns its space because there is no output schema.

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-parameter read-only lookup the definition covers purpose and returned content adequately. Minor gaps: no error behavior for an invalid id and no explanation of how lang changes output.

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 coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already documented. The description repeats the P01 example already present in the schema and adds nothing about the lang enum's effect on the response, so it stays at the baseline.

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 uses a specific verb ('Full details of') plus a specific resource ('one catalog assistant by id') and enumerates the payload (problem, function, audience, setup time, deployment). That clearly distinguishes a single-record fetch from the catalog-listing work implied by siblings, though no sibling is named.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: the '(e.g. P01)' note signals this is an id-keyed lookup that follows some discovery step, presumably search_catalog. There is no explicit 'use this when...' or 'do not use for...' statement and no mention of match_business or book_a_call.

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