get_full_documentRetrieves complete documentation pages for one or more file paths. Use this when you need full context beyond what search results provide. Provide file_paths only (array).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| file_paths | Yes | Array of file paths from search results. Use this to fetch one or more documents in a single call. |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only retrieval operation and notes the parameter constraint, but it does not describe the return format, potential limitations, or any side effects. The phrase 'complete documentation pages' adds some context but remains vague.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, with two sentences that front-load the core action and immediately follow with usage guidance. Every phrase earns its place—the 'Provide file_paths only' is a clear, purposeful directive.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a low-complexity tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently covers purpose, usage, and parameter constraints. It does not explain the return structure, but the straightforward retrieval nature and high schema coverage make the description complete enough for an agent to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100% for the single parameter, thoroughly explaining that file_paths is an array of paths from search results. The description merely repeats the parameter name and type, adding no additional semantic value beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves complete documentation pages for one or more file paths, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that focus on specific component APIs or versions by emphasizing 'full context' beyond search results.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It explicitly says to use this tool when needing full context beyond search results, providing clear context for when it applies. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use it, which would elevate it to a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of Vaadin documentation: Java API, React API, Web Component API, styling, versions, theming, and search. Even the three component API tools are clearly differentiated by the programming model. No ambiguity.
All tool names consistently follow the `get_` prefix followed by a descriptive noun phrase (e.g., `get_component_java_api`, `get_supported_vaadin_versions`). No mixing of conventions.
With 11 tools, the server covers the core documentation needs for Vaadin across multiple dimensions (API types, styling, versions, theming, search) without being bloated. Each tool has a clear purpose.
The tool set covers most documentation needs: component APIs (Java, React, Web Component), styling, versions, theming, search, and a primer. Minor gaps exist (e.g., direct release notes or changelog), but search and full document retrieval can compensate.
