Describe Padlet Action

describe_padlet_action
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the full description, arguments and hints of one Padlet action that search_padlet_actions found. A run does not need this first.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations fully cover the safety profile (read-only, idempotent, non-destructive), so the description's extra burden is modest. It does disclose the return payload (description, arguments, hints) and the 'not required before a run' workflow fact, but says nothing about size or whether hints include destructive-action markers, which is the very thing an agent would inspect before choosing a run tool.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with what is returned, followed by the single workflow caveat. No filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description does name the returned fields, which is the key missing piece an agent would otherwise lack. It is nearly complete for a simple lookup tool; only the nature of the 'hints' payload is left unexplained.

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 the name and telemetry parameters are already documented in schema. The description only implies the name comes from search_padlet_actions, which the schema text also states, so it adds no meaning beyond structured data.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb (returns) and resource (the full description, arguments and hints of one Padlet action), and ties the input to the sibling that produces the name (search_padlet_actions). This clearly separates it from the search and run_* siblings.

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?

The sentence 'A run does not need this first' tells the agent when not to call it, implying it is only needed when a run is unnecessary or when details are wanted. It stops short of naming the run_* alternatives explicitly, so it is clear context without full routing guidance.

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