Get GodPrompt versions

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context by specifying the JSON return format and the categories of information it contains. No contradictions; it simply could not mention potential caching or latency behavior, which is minor for a no-parameter version probe.

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?

Two sentences with no filler. The first sentence front-loads the full output shape, and the second sentence provides usage routing. Every word contributes.

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?

Although there is no output schema, the description explicitly enumerates the major payload components and gives usage context. For a simple, no-parameter metadata tool, no critical information needed to call it correctly is missing.

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 tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is vacuously 100% and the description does not need to explain parameter semantics. This is the baseline case for a parameterless tool.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ('Returns JSON with the GodPrompt content version, MCP server version, repository, bundled file sizes...') and enumerates exactly what the tool provides. This makes it clearly distinguishable from siblings like get_god_prompt and get_protocols, which return actual workflow content rather than metadata.

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?

It explicitly states when to use the tool: 'to verify which GodPrompt content/server version a client is connected to.' It also tells the agent when not to use it by directing it to 'the content retrieval tools' when actual workflow text is needed, effectively naming the alternative category.

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