B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds only the exact-name lookup behavior and says nothing about pagination via cursor, section scoping, or error behavior when no match exists.
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?
The single sentence is front-loaded and contains no filler. It is perhaps too terse for a tool with three undocumented parameters, but the conciseness itself is strong.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, and annotations cover the safety profile. Still, for a three-parameter read tool with zero schema coverage, the description omits important context about cursor pagination and the section enum.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for three undocumented parameters. It only clarifies that template_name is an exact match and leaves cursor and the section enum without any explanation of meaning or usage.
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 states a specific verb and resource ('Read a template') and adds lookup semantics ('by exact name'), which helps distinguish it from templates_list. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from templates_reverse_engineer or cover the optional section/cursor scope.
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?
Using an exact template name implies this tool is for known-name retrieval rather than browsing, which weakly points agents away from templates_list. But it never states when to choose it over templates_list, templates_reverse_engineer, or how to handle ambiguous or missing names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
