kaiten_get_space

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered structurally. The description adds useful scope information (it also returns available board references), but says nothing about permissions, error behavior, or pagination of those references.

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 short sentence with the operation and returned scope front-loaded. No filler, nothing that could be trimmed without losing information.

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?

A simple read-only single-resource fetch with an output schema, so return-value detail is not required from the description. Annotations carry the safety profile and the description states the response scope; only the sparse parameter documentation leaves a small gap.

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% and the description never mentions space_id, so it does not compensate for the missing documentation. The sole parameter is a single obvious identifier, which limits the practical damage, but the description adds no meaning beyond the property name and integer constraints.

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?

Specific verb+resource: 'Get a space' clearly identifies a single-resource fetch, distinguishable from the sibling kaiten_list_spaces. It also scopes the return ('and its available board references'). It stops short of explicitly naming the list sibling, so it isn't a full 5.

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 right call when it already has a space_id and needs that space's details rather than a listing. There is no explicit when-to-use, prerequisite, or named alternative (kaiten_list_spaces / kaiten_get_board).

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