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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully adds that the full note is returned with its section breakdown, but says nothing about not-found behavior, permissions, or incomplete notes.

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?

Two short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. The trailing 'GET /notes/{id}' restates what the first sentence already conveys, so it is slightly redundant but harmless.

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 single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description adequately conveys what comes back (the note and its sections). It omits error/not-found behavior and where the id is obtained, leaving minor gaps for an agent.

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 note_id parameter has no description in the schema, so the description must compensate. 'By id' does confirm the parameter is a note identifier, but it adds no format, length, or sourcing guidance beyond that.

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 and resource ('One clinical note by id') and names the returned scope ('all its sections (subjective, objective, assessment, plan ...)'). This distinguishes it from the sibling akutehealth_list_notes, which returns many notes rather than one.

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?

'By id' implies the caller already has a note identifier, which is the implicit usage condition. However, it never explicitly states when to use this instead of akutehealth_list_notes, nor where the note id comes from.

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