Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered structurally. The description's only added behavioral fact is the account-scoping constraint ('owned by the signed-in account'), which is genuinely useful but thin; nothing is said about behavior when the id is not owned or does not exist.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler; the scope constraint is stated immediately and nothing redundant is included.
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 simple, idempotent read with rich annotations and a fully documented single parameter, the description covers purpose and ownership scope adequately. The main omission is what a not-found or not-owned id yields, though no output schema exists to carry that either.
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?
Only one parameter, and schema description coverage is 100% — the schema already explains that 'id' comes from list_sites or add_site. The description adds no format or syntax detail beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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 a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('one site') with scope ('owned by the signed-in account'), which is enough to distinguish it from the plural list_sites. It does not, however, name a sibling or otherwise explicitly contrast itself with list_sites or audit_site.
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 implied by 'one site' plus the required id — the agent can infer this is the single-record lookup — but there is no statement of when to prefer it over list_sites or audit_site, and no prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
