A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already communicate that this is a safe, read-only, non-destructive operation. The description adds what data will be returned but does not disclose behaviors such as not-found handling, pagination, or response shape. This is adequate but not rich; the description adds only mild value beyond the 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?

One sentence delivers the verb, resource, identifier, and expected content with zero filler. All essential information is front-loaded; the sentence is compact and easy to parse.

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 simple single-resource read with one required parameter and no output schema, the description is complete enough: it explains what to pass and what to expect. It omits edge-case behavior like missing IDs, but the task is simple and the annotations already cover the safety profile. A small gap remains in describing possible failure responses.

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?

The single parameter is already fully documented in the schema: 'GrantSonar grant UUID (from a search_grants result).' The description essentially restates the same meaning with 'by its GrantSonar grant_id (UUID),' so it adds no meaningful parameter semantics beyond the 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?

The description uses a specific verb ('Fetch') and a clear resource ('full detail of a single grant opportunity'), and it names the key content areas (synopsis, eligibility, deadlines, award amounts). This clearly distinguishes it from list/search siblings like search_grants and list_my_applications.

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?

The intended use is implied clearly: call this when you already have a GrantSonar grant_id from a search result, and you need the full detail of one grant. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the contrast with list/search tools is evident from the description.

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