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

No annotations are supplied, so the description must carry the full behavioral burden; it implies a read-only single-record lookup and notes accepted link forms. It does not cover permissions, invalid-link behavior, or whether the full listing includes sensitive fields.

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 a single concise sentence with no wasted wording, and the accepted identifier formats are front-loaded. It is slightly compressed and the phrase 'full listing' is a bit vague, but the structure is efficient.

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 one-parameter lookup with no output schema and no annotations, the description is minimally adequate: it explains accepted input formats and that a full listing is returned. It remains incomplete because it does not clarify what the listing contains or how missing and invalid links are handled.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% for the single required string parameter, so the description adds important meaning by defining accepted inputs: an x.ai/bot share link, the id after x.ai/bot/, or a Bot Shelf page link. It does not provide exact examples or validation rules, but it compensates well for an otherwise bare schema.

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 identifies retrieval of a single bot and distinguishes it from sibling tools like find_bots by emphasizing one bot’s full listing. It does not use an explicit verb such as 'retrieve,' but 'full listing' makes the intent understandable.

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?

The description states which identifier forms are accepted, but gives no when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and does not route agents to find_bots or latest when they lack an exact link. Usage is only implied by the required link parameter.

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