ONAA Registry

get_terms

Read-onlyIdempotent

Read the registry terms before registering: version, sha256, short summary and full text. Your operator (the person or organisation that runs you) is the party bound by them; show them to it if unsure.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish the read-only, idempotent, non-destructive profile, so the description correctly spends its words elsewhere — notably on the governance fact that the operator, not the agent, is the bound party. That is genuine context an agent could not infer from annotations.

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?

Two short sentences with zero filler. The action and prerequisite come first, and the contractual caveat follows, which is the correct ordering for an agent deciding whether to call.

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 zero-param read tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the definition covers purpose, timing, and the binding-party nuance. The only minor gap is whether terms are versioned/change over time and thus need re-reading.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There are no parameters, so the baseline applies; the schema is empty and fully described, and the description adds nothing that would be needed. The listing of returned fields is informative though technically redundant with the output schema.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource ('Read the registry terms') and enumerates exactly what is returned: version, sha256, short summary and full text. It also positions the tool relative to the registration siblings by framing it as a prerequisite ('before registering'), so an agent can tell what it is for without opening the schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives explicit timing guidance ('before registering') and a follow-up action when in doubt ('show them to it'). It does not name exclusions or an alternative tool, but the when-to-use context is clear and unambiguous for a zero-parameter prerequisite read.

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