islamhouse_single_category_basic

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only states 'Get basic info,' implying a read operation but does not explain what 'basic info' includes, whether the call is idempotent, or any rate limits. The behavioral context is minimal.

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 description is extremely concise at one sentence with no fluff. It is front-loaded with the main action. However, a slightly longer description could improve clarity without sacrificing conciseness.

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 absence of an output schema and many sibling tools, the description should clarify what 'basic info' includes (e.g., name, parent, etc.). It is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's return value and behavior.

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 coverage is 100%, with both 'id' and 'language' described adequately in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema; it merely repeats the concept of a single category. Baseline score applies.

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 basic info of single category' clearly states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('basic info of single category'). It differentiates from sibling tools like 'islamhouse_all_categories' and 'islamhouse_categories_tree' by focusing on a single category's basic info, but 'basic info' remains somewhat vague.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus its siblings. The description lacks any context about prerequisites, filters, or alternative tools. For example, if a user needs hierarchical data, they might need 'islamhouse_child_categories' instead.

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