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 only the endpoint path and the set of related fields returned; with no output schema, that return-shape detail is useful, but nothing is said about behavior when the id does not exist or about permissions.

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 front-loaded sentence giving the record scope and returned fields, followed by the endpoint. No filler; every clause carries information.

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 no output schema, enumerating the returned fields plus the endpoint is close to complete. Left ambiguous is whether that field list is exhaustive and how missing or unauthorized ids behave.

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 0% for the single required job_id, so the description must compensate. "By id" only restates the parameter name and does not explain what kind of identifier it is (the UUID form lives only in the schema's regex pattern) or whether other identifier forms are accepted.

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 retrieval verb and resource ("One job by id") and enumerates the associated data returned (person, position title, location, business unit, supervisor, pay grade, remuneration, dates). This clearly separates it from intellihr_list_jobs, though no sibling is named explicitly.

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: "One job by id" suggests a single-record lookup once an id is known, versus the list siblings. There is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no preconditions about where a job_id comes from, and no named alternative for other lookup needs.

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