recipe_comments_get_one

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose the GET method, the read-only nature ('read-only' keyword), and the path template, which reveals that item_id identifies a comment. It says nothing about authentication requirements, 404 behavior, or what the returned comment looks like, leaving meaningful gaps.

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?

The purpose and endpoint are front-loaded, which is good, but roughly half the text is SEO keyword stuffing ('fetch comment, read comment, retrieve comment, view comment, show comment...') that adds no information. Those tokens do not earn their place.

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 single-parameter read tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description gives enough to identify the operation and its route. It still omits return shape, auth needs, and error conditions, so it is only minimally adequate.

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 description must compensate for the undocumented item_id. It partially does via the route template /api/comments/{item_id}, implying item_id is a comment UUID, but it never states this explicitly against the schema's uuid4 format.

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 states a specific verb+resource (get a single recipe comment) and pins it to the concrete endpoint GET /api/comments/{item_id}. Sibling differentiation (vs. recipe_comments_get_all, recipe_comments_create_one, etc.) is largely carried by the tool name and route rather than explicit prose, so it falls short of a 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?

There is no guidance on when to call this versus recipe_comments_get_all or the comment update/delete siblings, and no prerequisites or exclusions. The keyword block restates 'get/fetch/read/retrieve' without adding any conditional guidance.

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