kaiten_get_board

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description contributes the useful fact that the payload bundles nested configuration (columns, lanes, custom properties), but says nothing about permissions, board not-found behavior, or scope.

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?

One short sentence with the resource and returned payload front-loaded and no filler. It is efficient, but the terse list of returned entities is the only structure provided.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and annotations fully cover the read-only safety profile. For a single-parameter getter, the description conveys enough for correct selection and invocation, with only minor gaps around prerequisites and sibling routing.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the single board_id parameter has no documentation in the schema. The description does not compensate with format, source, or range details, though the parameter name and integer type make its intent largely self-evident.

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?

Uses a specific verb ('Get') with a specific resource ('board') and enumerates what is returned: details, columns, lanes, and custom property configuration. This distinguishes it from sibling readers like kaiten_list_columns and kaiten_list_lanes by framing it as a composite fetch, though it never explicitly says so.

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 only implied: an agent can infer this is the way to fetch a single board by id. There is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no statement that this is preferable to calling kaiten_list_columns/kaiten_list_lanes separately, and no preconditions or exclusions.

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