Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the result embeds sources and context (an expansion behavior beyond a plain record fetch), which is genuinely useful, but says nothing about permissions, size of the embedded payload, or pagination.
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?
A single economical sentence with no filler, and the core action leads. It is arguably too terse, but nothing is wasted or buried.
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?
An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the annotation covers safety. What remains thin is orientation: the description never ties 'development' to the intel concept or explains the consequence of the activity enum, leaving a minor but real gap for a tool whose id semantics are already error-prone.
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%, and the schema is unusually good — it warns that the id must be the Intel item id 'not its project.id' and enumerates the activity modes. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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 verb (Get) and a singular resource, but calls the resource a 'development' while the tool and its sibling list_intel deal in 'intel' items, so the agent must infer the two are the same thing. It does clarify the retrieval is one item including its sources and context, which is more than a bare restatement.
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?
No when-to-use guidance and no alternatives named. The pairing with list_intel in the sibling list implies a follow-up single-item fetch, but nothing in the description says when this is preferable or what conditions require it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
