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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It says 'Return' which implies a read-only operation, but it does not explicitly state that no data is modified, or mention authentication or rate limits. The description gives some insight into the return structure but does not fully cover potential side effects or constraints.

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 concise (three sentences) and well-structured: it opens with the core purpose, then details the graph content, and closes with explicit usage guidance. No filler or redundancy; every sentence adds value.

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 tool with no parameters and an output schema, the description is largely complete. It covers what the tool returns, the context in which it is used, and differentiates from related tools. A minor gap is that it does not clarify what 'key's workspace' refers to, but this is likely environmental context an agent already possesses.

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 tool has zero parameters, so there is nothing to explain. The schema coverage is trivially 100% and no parameter descriptions are needed. The description does not add parameter-specific semantics because there are none, aligning with the baseline for parameterless tools.

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 explicitly states the tool returns a 'living map of how the company works' for the workspace, and specifies the exact components (process nodes, external systems, wiki docs, team groups) and edge types. This is a specific verb+resource that clearly differentiates from siblings like get_skill, which focuses on individual skill steps.

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 provides a clear usage context ('when the agent wants the high-level operational structure') and an implicit exclusion ('rather than one skill's steps'), but does not name an explicit alternative tool like get_skill or get_graph. The guidance is useful but lacks a direct pointer to a sibling.

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