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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value by listing the returned detail fields, but it does not describe auth needs, rate limits, error behavior, or pagination.

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 focused sentences with no wasted language. The venue-detail scope is front-loaded, followed by the useful note on where the id comes from.

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-only detail tool with an output schema and annotations, the description adequately covers purpose and id provenance. It could mention the sibling venue-events tool, but nothing critical is missing.

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 already documented with an example. The description adds provenance—that it is SeatGeek's own numeric venue id obtained from a search or event result—which is meaning beyond the schema.

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?

States retrieval of one venue's full detail and enumerates returned fields including address, timezone, capacity, and coordinates. The venue-detail scope is clear from the name and description, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling seatgeek_venue_events.

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?

Provides useful prerequisite context by saying the id is obtained from a search or event result, which implies the tool is for lookups once an id is known. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance versus alternatives such as seatgeek_search or seatgeek_venue_events.

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