Read Note

get_note
Read-only

The FULL saved note (including its body) by id — owner-scoped. Use after query_notes when you need the complete content, not just the summary.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered; the description contributes the owner-scoping constraint and clarifies that the response includes the full `body` field rather than a truncated summary. It stops short of describing error behavior beyond the 404 noted in the schema, so it is strong but not exhaustive.

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?

Two compact clauses with the scope statement front-loaded and the routing hint second; no filler. The parenthetical about `body` interrupts slightly but earns its place by clarifying what 'FULL' means.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with readOnlyHint set, the description covers purpose, selection condition, and what content comes back (including `body`). With no output schema, a sentence on the returned shape or any failure modes would close the remaining gap.

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% on the single `note_id` parameter, and the schema already documents its origin in `query_notes` results and the owner-scoped 404. The description's 'by id' adds no syntax or format detail beyond that, so baseline 3 applies.

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 (retrieve/read) and resource (the full saved note, including its `body`) scoped by id, and explicitly contrasts with `query_notes`, which returns only summaries. An agent can distinguish it from the search sibling without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Names the alternative (`query_notes`) and the exact condition that selects this tool: when the complete content, not just the summary, is needed. The sequencing ('Use after') is spelled out rather than inferred.

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