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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine value beyond that: it enumerates what the payload contains (profile, roles, compensation settings) and states a redaction guarantee (government ids and bank details removed), which an agent would not otherwise know. It stops short of describing error behavior for a missing/invalid id.

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?

Three compact fragments with zero filler: the resource, the payload contents, the redaction caveat, then the endpoint. The most important information (which entity, what comes back) is front-loaded.

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 one-parameter read with annotations covering safety and no output schema, the description covers entity, payload contents and data redaction — enough to call it correctly and interpret the result. Only the not-found/invalid-id behavior is left unstated.

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?

There is only one parameter and schema description coverage is 100%, with the schema documenting it as 'Bilflo team member (user) id'. The description adds no format, range or lookup-source detail beyond restating the id via the '{id}' path placeholder, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

The description names a precise resource — a single back-office team member (staffing company user) — and the endpoint GET /v1/Users/teamMember/{id} supplies the verb and the single-record scope. The parenthetical 'staffing company user' cleanly separates it from the contractor/client getters in the sibling list, though the verb itself is only implied by the endpoint line.

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?

Singular lookup-by-id is implied by '{id}' and the required team_member_id, so an agent can infer this is the detail fetch rather than a list call. However, no sibling is named as an alternative and no condition is given for choosing it over, say, bilflo_get_contractor or any list tool.

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