recipes_units_get_one

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

No annotations provided. The description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or error handling (e.g., 404 on not found). As a GET operation, behavior is likely safe, but the description offers no confirmation.

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?

Extremely concise (one line) but overly terse. The HTTP method and path are unnecessary for MCP and waste space. Missing critical information about usage and parameters.

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 simple parameter set and no output schema, the description lacks context on return value, error responses, or relationship to other tools. Incomplete for an agent to confidently invoke without additional schema details.

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%. The description does not explain the 'item_id' parameter, its format (uuid4), or its purpose beyond the schema. With zero compensation, the agent gets no added meaning.

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 'Get One' which, combined with the tool name 'recipes_units_get_one', clearly indicates retrieving a single unit by ID. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_all' and 'create_one'. However, it could be more explicit, e.g., 'Retrieve a specific unit by its ID.'

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'recipes_units_get_all' or other unit tools. No context on prerequisites or exclusions. The agent must infer usage solely from the name.

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