Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Get' implies a read, but nothing states whether this is read-only, requires authorization, or how it behaves on an unknown playbook_id. It notes the payload includes evidence and a Python contract, which is mildly informative, but the behavioral profile is essentially undisclosed.
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 front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is dense but earns its length by listing the returned artifacts, though the noun pile ('evidence, output, and Python contract') is slightly opaque.
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?
An output schema exists so return values needn't be re-explained, but with a 0%-covered required parameter and no usage or behavioral guidance, the definition leaves key calling decisions unresolved for an otherwise simple single-item retrieval tool.
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 coverage is 0% and the single required parameter playbook_id has no description anywhere. The description never explains what a playbook_id is, its format, or that it comes from recipes_playbooks_list, leaving the agent to guess how to supply it.
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 (Get) and resource (one complete remediation workflow) and enumerates what comes back (evidence, output, Python contract). This differentiates it from recipes_playbooks_list and recipes_playbook_plan, though the term 'Python contract' is jargon that could confuse an agent.
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?
No guidance on when to call this vs recipes_playbooks_list (enumerate) or recipes_playbook_plan. The 'Get one complete...' phrasing implies retrieval of a single item, but no prerequisites, exclusions, or alternative-routing is stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
