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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safe read profile is covered. The description adds that retrieval is batched and limited to catalog-known names, but says nothing about behavior for unknown names or the cap of 25.

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 dense sentence with the resource and scope front-loaded and no filler. It is efficient, though it packs several concepts together in a way that could be split for scannability.

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 simple two-parameter read tool with no output schema, the core contract is conveyed. However, gaps remain: the 'aspects' parameter is unmentioned, and behavioral edges (unknown names, 25-item cap) are left for the agent to discover.

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 0%, so the description carries more burden. It clarifies that toolNames must be exact operation names and that a batch is expected, and its list of retrievable data loosely maps to the 'aspects' enum, but it never names the aspects parameter or its defaults.

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 specific verb (Retrieve) and resource (descriptions, annotations, input schemas for operation names), and scopes it to a batch from the catalog. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like get_tool_catalog or read_tool, so it falls 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?

The phrase 'exact MagicInterview operation names from the catalog' hints that names must be resolved first, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of alternatives (get_tool_catalog, read_tool), and no prerequisites or exclusions stated.

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