get_report_details

Read-only

Get full details of a specific expense report including all expenses, totals, and compliance status. Use only when the user explicitly asks to inspect an existing report's details. Never call this as a preflight or follow-up to creating, sharing, or billing from a report; those tools already return the required result and links.

  4. First observed

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context: it discloses what the call returns (all expenses, totals, compliance status) and a meaningful gating rule about consent for inspection. It doesn't mention rate limits or the accountant-specific client scoping beyond the schema, hence not a full 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the capability, then the usage condition, then the exclusion. Every sentence carries a distinct and necessary constraint with zero filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be spelled out, and annotations cover safety. Combined with 100% schema coverage, the description supplies the remaining needed pieces: scope, consent gating, and the preflight/follow-up prohibition.

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 description coverage is 100%, so all three parameters are already documented, including the analysisRequested consent semantics and the clientEmail accountant restriction. The description reinforces the consent constraint but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, 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 (Get) and resource (full details of a specific expense report) and enumerates the payload (all expenses, totals, compliance status). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like list_reports (enumeration) and check_compliance (single check).

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?

Explicitly states when to use it ('only when the user explicitly asks to inspect an existing report's details') and when not to ('never call this as a preflight or follow-up to creating, sharing, or billing'), explaining that those tools already return the required result and links. This is explicit when/when-not guidance with the alternative mechanism named.

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