Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safe-read profile is covered structurally. The description adds the REST route (GET /events/{id}) but says nothing about error behavior (e.g. missing/invalid id) or what the returned event contains, and no output schema exists to fill that gap.
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 the operation stated first. The REST endpoint mapping is secondary detail that some agents will find useful, though it is not strictly necessary.
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 tool with safety annotations, the definition is minimally sufficient. It is incomplete on what the returned event looks like and on failure modes, which matters since there is no output schema.
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 a single required parameter with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema carries the semantics. The description's 'by id' adds no format, validation, or lookup detail beyond what the schema already states.
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 states a specific verb and resource ('Get a single booked event/meeting by id'), which is unambiguous about the operation and its scope. It implicitly distinguishes itself from the list sibling via 'single ... by id', though it does not name an alternative 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: an agent can infer you call this when you have an id and need one event rather than a listing. There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative (e.g. savvycal_list_events) to select between.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
