Get doctrine

mzizi_get_doctrine
Read-onlyIdempotent

How to build here: Ubuntu pillars and principles, mzizi conventions, the AI instruction sets, and the Bundu floor (topic bundu-floor): the minimums nothing can go under, including the spacing floor (14px inset, 7px gaps between controls, 7px between a label and its field, 7px between items, 1.5 body leading), how they are enforced and what to do.

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered without the description. The description adds substantive domain context — that bundu-floor represents minimums 'nothing can go under', how they are enforced, and what to do — but says nothing about return format, size, or whether the content is large enough to need paging.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

It is a single dense run-on sentence that is front-loaded with the intent ('How to build here'), which is good, but the trailing parenthetical enumerating exact pixel values (14px inset, 7px gaps, 1.5 leading) is content that belongs in the resource being fetched, not in the tool definition. That padding dilutes the routing signal.

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?

For a two-parameter read-only getter with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description is adequate: an agent knows the topic space and what bundu-floor means. What is missing is whether `name` is required or meaningful for topics other than ai-instructions/conventions, and roughly what comes back (single doc vs. list), which matters because omitting `name` changes behavior to a listing.

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 100% and the schema already explains both the enum of topics and the conditional role of `name` (fetch vs. list, and that omitting it lists). The description reinforces the topic vocabulary and spells out what the `bundu-floor` topic contains, but adds no new syntax or conditional rules beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific resource (doctrine: Ubuntu pillars/principles, mzizi conventions, AI instruction sets, Bundu floor) and enumerates the topic set, so an agent can tell this is a doctrine/content reader rather than a component or token lookup. It does not, however, name or contrast any sibling tool, leaving the boundary with mzizi_get_tokens, mzizi_get_architecture, and docs_search_mzizi to inference.

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?

Usage is only implied: 'How to build here' plus the topic list suggests calling this when you need conventions, principles, or floor minimums. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no when-not, and no routing to alternatives such as docs_search_mzizi for free-text lookup or mzizi_get_skills for skill definitions.

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