Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, description carries full burden. It declares read-only and mentions a requirement for member sid for members-only stories. However, lacks details on authentication, rate limits, or any side effects. The read-only claim is helpful but incomplete.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three sentences, front-loaded with key info (read-only). No wasted words. Efficient structure.

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?

No output schema, so description should elaborate on return format. It says 'story body as HTML' and mentions Markdown conversion, but doesn't specify if it's full document or fragment. With sibling tools like get_post, it's somewhat complete but could clarify more.

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 0%, so description must compensate. It explains as_markdown parameter and implies post_id is the target. However, post_id's format or constraints are not described, and both parameters lack full semantic context. Adds some value but not fully compensating.

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?

Description clearly states it returns story body as HTML and mentions Markdown conversion. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_post (metadata) and search_posts. However, it could be more explicit about the specific resource being the body content.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_post or search_posts. The condition about members-only stories needing a member sid is noted but no broader usage context is provided.

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