env_sync.secret_pull

Read-onlyIdempotent

Pull an encrypted secret blob. Response is ciphertext_b64 only — server never sees and never returns plaintext.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
aliasNo
node_idNo
device_idNoOptional calling device id for audit attribution. The X-Ainote-Device-Id header is the canonical source; this argument is the backwards-compatible fallback for clients that predate the header. If both are sent and disagree, the request is rejected (DEVICE_MISMATCH).

A3.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), the description adds critical behavioral context: 'Response is ciphertext_b64 only — server never sees and never returns plaintext.' This privacy/security trait is not captured in the annotations and is essential for the agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence followed by a brief clarification. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's core function and response behavior. No unnecessary details or repetition.

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?

The description covers the essential purpose and response format, which is especially important given no output schema. However, it lacks guidance on parameter selection (node_id vs alias) and does not mention the device_id fallback. This leaves some ambiguity for a tool with a oneOf schema and partially documented parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description provides no information about the node_id, alias, or device_id parameters. With schema description coverage at only 33%, the description should compensate but does not, leaving the agent without clarity on which identifier to use or the role of device_id.

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 clearly states the tool's action: 'Pull an encrypted secret blob.' The verb 'Pull' is specific and the resource is described, distinguishing it from sibling tools like secret_push and secret_rotate. It also adds the response format, further clarifying its role.

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 description implies use for retrieving encrypted secrets without exposing plaintext, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like secret_push or secret_rotate. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned, leaving usage mostly implied.

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