get_permit
Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when working with RetailHardHat permits records in the connected organization. Read a permit by ID. MCP approval requirements are configurable by the organization administrator; business workflow approvals always apply.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

While annotations already cover safety (readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false), the description adds significant operational behavior by noting that business workflow approvals always apply. This is a constraint not found in the structured metadata.

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?

The definition is concise, using two sentences to establish scope and then immediately address workflow constraints. Every sentence serves a distinct purpose and is front-loaded.

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?

The description successfully combines scoping (organization/RetailHardHat), functionality (read by ID), and crucial procedural information (approval workflows). Given that annotations cover the basic safety profile, the remaining context is appropriately addressed.

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?

Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description relies on the statement 'Read a permit by ID' to give the parameter meaning. It confirms the necessity of an identifier but does not add semantic depth beyond the parameter's name.

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 clearly identifies the action ('Read') and the resource ('RetailHardHat permits records'). It is specific enough to distinguish this from other general 'get' tools in the large sibling list, though it does not explicitly name a specific sibling alternative.

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?

The tool provides context on when to use it (working with 'RetailHardHat permits records' in the connected organization). However, it does not explicitly state when *not* to use it or provide comparative guidance against similar tools like 'list_permits'.

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