Read an editing skill

read_skill
Read-only

Retrieves topic-specific editing reference documentation, optionally limited to a section such as evidence, patterns, verification or repair. It does not modify project media or the edit decision list.

  10. First observed

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a concrete scope statement (it does not modify project media or the edit decision list), which is useful but largely restates the read-only annotation; it says nothing about output format, size of the returned documentation, or why idempotentHint is false for a read.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two compact sentences with the core action front-loaded and the non-modification caveat trailing, no filler. It could be tightened further only by trading away the section examples.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Adjusting for complexity, the definition is complete enough: with no output schema the description still conveys the return type (reference documentation), the optional narrowing parameter is explained, and the read-only guarantee is stated. The remaining gaps (skill-name semantics, project scoping rationale) are minor for a lookup tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 33% (just project_id), so the description should compensate more than it does. It does clarify that 'section' is an optional narrowing of the skill document and illustrates the kinds of sections available, but it never explains what 'name' selects (a topic-specific skill pack, from a 44-value enum) or why project_id is required for a read.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a specific verb and resource ('Retrieves topic-specific editing reference documentation') and scopes it to an optional sub-section such as evidence or repair. It is clearly a documentation-lookup tool, distinguishable from the many mutation/analysis siblings, though it never names a nearest alternative.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is for consulting editorial guidance before acting, but the description never states when to call it versus tools like get_editorial_map, critique_short, or the add_* tools, nor when a full skill read is preferable to a single section.

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