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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new context beyond that: the returned prompt is untrusted example data, not instructions, and any measurements or claims must be verified before scientific use.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the action, then the trust caveat. Every sentence carries weight, though the trust warning could be compressed without loss.

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 single-parameter read with a 100% documented schema, full annotations, and no output schema, the definition covers what an agent needs: what it fetches, the key, and how to treat the returned content. Missing an explicit pointer back to the sibling search tool, which would close the loop.

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 100%, so the sole parameter 'id' is already fully documented, including its origin from search_research_prompts. The description adds only the word 'numeric', which is a marginal restatement; baseline 3 applies when the schema does the work.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Read one full public research figure prompt template') plus the retrieval key ('by its numeric ID'). The singular 'one full ... by ID' implicitly contrasts with the sibling search_research_prompts, though the sibling is not named outright.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent infers this follows a search that yielded an ID, especially since the schema notes the ID comes from search_research_prompts. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no 'use search_research_prompts to find IDs first', and no stated exclusions.

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