households_cookbooks_get_one

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

The description only shows an HTTP route, implying a GET request, but does not explicitly state read-only behavior, authentication requirements, or any other behavioral traits. The agent must infer from the route.

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?

While the description is short, it is under-specified. It lacks essential details and does not effectively communicate the tool's purpose.

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?

Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and parameter explanations, the description fails to provide enough context for an agent to correctly invoke the tool. It should at least state 'Retrieves a cookbook by its ID.'

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?

The single parameter 'item_id' is not explained in the description. With 0% schema coverage, the agent cannot understand what the parameter represents or how it should be supplied.

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?

The description 'Get One' is a tautology that restates the tool name without clarifying what resource is being retrieved. It does not specify that it retrieves a specific cookbook by ID from a household context.

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?

No usage guidance is provided. The description does not differentiate this tool from siblings like 'explore_cookbooks_get_one' or specify when to use it.

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