fetch_image_download

Fetch a image downloads[n].url from a completed image project and return it as inline MCP image content for compatible clients. Pass the exact full signed URL from downloads[n].url without trimming query parameters; expires_at is separate metadata, not part of the URL.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden and does add real value: it discloses the return type (inline MCP image content for compatible clients) and the signed-URL handling rule (do not trim query parameters, expires_at is separate). It omits error/expiry behavior and says nothing about the max_bytes limit, so it is not complete.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose then the critical URL-handling caveat, with essentially no filler. The minor grammatical slip ('a image') does not impede comprehension.

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

Completeness3/5

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

There is no output schema, and the description correctly explains the return value and the source of the required URL. It leaves the max_bytes parameter and failure cases (expired URL, size limits) unexplained, which is a gap for a fetch tool with three parameters.

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 coverage is 33%, and the description usefully compensates for the undocumented download_url by specifying it must be the exact full signed URL from downloads[n].url without trimming. It adds nothing, however, for max_bytes, so one of three parameters remains unexplained.

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 (fetch), a specific resource (an image download from a completed image project), and the delivery mechanism (inline MCP image content). This clearly separates it from siblings like fetch_audio_download, fetch_video_download, and image_projects_retrieve_details.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The phrase 'from a completed image project' implies a prerequisite (the project must have finished) and points to the downloads[n].url source, giving usable context. However, it never names an alternative tool or states when not to use this tool, so routing guidance is only implied.

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