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

readOnlyHint=true already declares the safety profile, so the description adds nothing on that front. Beyond restating the HTTP verb and path, it discloses nothing about error behavior for unknown ids, response shape, or expansion options.

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 sentences, front-loaded and waste-free. It is on the thin side rather than verbose, so conciseness itself is not a problem.

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 is the only place an agent could learn what a job record contains, and it says nothing about return fields or structure. For a lookup tool that will feed further calls, that leaves a real gap.

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 coverage is 100% and the id parameter is fully documented in the schema (UUID format, pattern, and provenance). The description adds no parameter detail, which is acceptable given the schema does the work — baseline 3.

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 endpoint notation 'GET /v1/jobs/{id}' plus 'Read the selected record' makes clear this retrieves a single job by identifier, distinguishing it from the many list_* siblings. The phrase 'the selected record' is slightly vague on its own, but the path resolves it.

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?

No guidance on when to use this versus servicemonster_list_jobs or servicemonster_list_order_jobs, and no note that the id typically comes from a preceding list call. The only clue is the schema's own note about obtaining the GUID from a prior read.

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