Read selected course topics

get_course
Read-onlyIdempotent

Read CRICOS course topics by code or URL. Defaults to core. Explicit nonempty sections replace the default: core, overview, fees, requirements, intakes, campuses, pathways, packages, similar. Topic options must be nested under their selected section. Full semantic entries are preserved; subsequent pages require unchanged contentVersion. Use fee years/audience, requirement topics, date/campus filters or pageSize to narrow large responses. includeEvidence explicitly requests provider evidence separately from sections; website OAuth is required only on the public endpoint. includeSimilar and unknown arguments are rejected. This public endpoint returns English natural-language text, preserving sources, conditions and pagination.

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description goes well beyond them: subsequent pages require an unchanged contentVersion, unknown arguments and includeSimilar are rejected, website OAuth is required on the public endpoint, and the returned content is English natural-language text that preserves sources, conditions and pagination. These are exactly the operational traits an agent needs and are not derivable from the schema.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then defaults, then filters, then flags, then output character — a logical order with essentially no filler. It is dense to the point of being run-on in places (sections, nesting and rejection rules packed into one sentence), which slightly hurts scanability but not correctness.

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 13-parameter tool with nested objects and no output schema, the description covers the section model, pagination/versioning contract, authentication condition, argument rejection behavior, and the nature of the returned text. The main remaining gap is the exact accepted formats for the `course` value (code vs URL shape), which the schema leaves as a bare string.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is low (31%), with only locale, studentType, includeEvidence and passportCountry documented, so the description must compensate. It does: it enumerates the selectable sections, states topic options must be nested under their chosen section, and names the filter axes for fees, requirements, intakes and campuses. It stops short of documenting every leaf field, so 4 rather than 5.

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 opening sentence gives a specific verb+resource ('Read CRICOS course topics') and the two accepted input forms (code or URL), plus the default section behavior. It implicitly distinguishes itself from search_courses by being the single-course read, but it never names a sibling tool outright, so it falls just short of 5.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Strong operational guidance: default sections, replacement semantics ('explicit nonempty sections replace the default'), nesting rules, and concrete narrowing levers (fee years/audience, requirement topics, date/campus filters, pageSize). It lacks explicit when-to-use-vs-alternatives guidance (e.g. vs search_courses or the package/pathway siblings), so it is clear context without exclusions.

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