Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses only that the return value is raw HTML. It says nothing about behavior for an unknown slug, permissions or authentication requirements, response size limits, or whether the template must be published.
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 front-loaded sentence with verb, resource, return type, and lookup key, and no wasted words. Nothing in it could be trimmed without losing information.
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 one-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description gives the essential shape (raw HTML keyed by slug), which is the minimum viable amount. It is still thin on error behavior and on how an agent should discover valid slugs, which matters given the many sibling template tools.
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 coverage is 100% and the single slug parameter is already documented in the schema, so the baseline is 3. The phrase 'by its slug' confirms the slug is the lookup identifier but adds no format or constraint detail beyond the schema.
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 states a specific verb (get) and resource (raw HTML content of a template) plus the lookup key (slug), which clearly separates it from list_templates and generate_from_template. It does not explicitly name which sibling to use instead for generated/rendered output, so it falls just short of a 5.
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?
There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no named alternative. An agent must infer from the word 'raw' that this is for source HTML rather than generated or converted output, and nothing says how to obtain a valid slug (e.g., via list_templates).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
