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 adds real value beyond that by disclosing what the response contains — typed field values including table rows and signature/image references, plus status, assignment and template version. It does not mention how a not-found or deleted form is handled in the response, which keeps it short of a 5.

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?

One dense sentence front-loads the resource and payload contents, with the endpoint appended. The 'GET /v2/formz/{id}' fragment is marginally useful for mapping to the REST API but is the least essential element; otherwise there is no wasted text.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of describing return content and does so explicitly, and the deleted-form behavior is documented in the schema. What is missing is response-side edge behavior (not-found, deleted form excluded by default) and any pointer to how an id is obtained.

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 100% and both parameters carry their own descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional semantics — notably it never mentions the include_deleted toggle or the GUID format — leaving the schema to do all the work.

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 ('Get one form') and enumerates the payload it returns: field values by type, status, assignment, and template version. Cardinality ('one form') plus the explicit field inventory cleanly separates it from goformz_list_forms and the other get_* siblings that target different resources.

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?

Usage is only implied: an agent infers it should call this when it has a single form id in hand, versus goformz_list_forms when it does not. There is no explicit when-to-use, no prerequisite statement (e.g., obtaining an id), and no named alternative, so this stays at the minimum-viable level.

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