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

The annotations already declare this as a read-only, non-destructive, open-world operation, and the description adds useful return-content details: status, per-step details, issues, charges, shipments, recipient, items, metadata. It also discloses the non-obvious behavior that callbackUrl is reduced to its host. It does not cover error or not-found behavior, so it falls short of full behavioral transparency.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the resource and lookup key, then packs the response payload summary efficiently into a single field list. The final GET endpoint is short and the whole definition has no filler.

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-resource read tool with one fully documented parameter and no output schema, the description is largely complete because it summarizes the returned order data and notes callbackUrl redaction. The main omission is usage context relative to sibling tools, but the retrieval contract itself is well covered.

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?

The schema has 100% description coverage and already documents order_id with an example. The description reinforces that the id is a Prodigi order id but adds no format, lookup, or edge-case semantics beyond the schema. A baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states that it retrieves a single print order by Prodigi order id and enumerates the returned data categories. This distinguishes it implicitly from list operations, but it does not explicitly name sibling tools such as prodigi_list_orders or prodigi_get_order_actions.

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 implied by 'One print order by Prodigi order id,' which suggests calling it when a specific order id is already known. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no routing to alternatives such as list_orders for discovering ids or get_order_actions for action history.

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