get_secret_route

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds only the workspace scope implied by the resource name and does not disclose any additional behavior such as sensitivity of the returned value, required permissions, or whether the secret value is revealed.

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 very short and front-loaded, with no filler. However, it is a sentence fragment rather than a structured sentence, and its extreme brevity comes at the cost of useful context.

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 secret-retrieval tool, the description omits the required secret_id semantics and does not explain what the tool returns or any access considerations. The annotations cover safety traits, but the description is not complete enough to ensure correct invocation beyond a basic guess.

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 schema has one required parameter, secret_id, with 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention the parameter or explain its meaning. Because low schema coverage requires the description to compensate, this is a significant gap.

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 Convai Workspace Secret'. This is clear enough to distinguish a single-secret retrieval from the plural get_secrets_route, but it does not explicitly differentiate from nearby siblings such as get_secret_dependencies_route or explain that retrieval is by secret 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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention get_secrets_route for listing secrets or get_secret_dependencies_route for dependency inspection, nor does it state any prerequisite or context for retrieving a secret.

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