recipe_crud_get_one

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It usefully indicates a read-only GET operation and that all recipe data is returned. However, it omits auth requirements, error behavior, and whether the response is paginated or bounded, leaving meaningful gaps for a no-annotation tool.

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 first part is front-loaded and useful, but the large keyword block is repetitive filler that repeats the tool name, purpose, and common synonyms. It inflates length without adding decision-relevant 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?

For a simple one-parameter read tool, the description covers the basic purpose, input, and endpoint. Since there is no output schema, the description should ideally say more about what 'all data for a recipe' contains, but the core invocation context is 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 100%, and the single 'slug' parameter is already documented as 'A recipe's slug or id'. The description repeats the same semantics without adding format examples, lookup behavior, or error cases, so the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 and resource: get a recipe by slug or id and return all recipe data. It also exposes the underlying GET endpoint. However, it does not distinguish this tool from several sibling getters such as get_recipe, get_household_recipe, or shared_recipes_get_one.

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?

The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when this recipe CRUD getter is preferable to get_recipe, explore_recipes_get_all, or other recipe retrieval siblings, nor does it state prerequisites or exclusions.

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