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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It conveys a read operation returning a single tool definition, but it does not disclose error behavior, not-found handling, or the exact structure of the returned definition.

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 efficient sentence with no filler or redundancy. The core action and lookup mechanism are both front-loaded.

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 simple one-parameter lookup tool, the description covers the essential operation, resource, and selection method. It is somewhat thin on response content and failure behavior, but overall it provides enough context for an agent to invoke it correctly in most cases.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, but the parameter is already named pathOrKey, so the description's 'by path or key' largely restates the schema rather than adding new meaning. It does confirm that the parameter is the lookup selector, but no additional format, syntax, or constraints are provided.

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 states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('one Qorevia tool definition') with a clear lookup mechanism ('by path or key'). It is clear enough to suggest this is a direct single-item retrieval tool rather than a catalog or search tool, though it does not explicitly name its siblings.

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 implies usage: use this when you already have a path or key and want a single tool definition. It does not provide explicit comparisons or when-not-to-use guidance relative to qorevia_catalog, qorevia_find, or qorevia_route, so the usage signal is only inferred.

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