acedatacloud_get_material

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full burden. It states 'Fetch' indicating read-only, but does not disclose permissions, rate limits, error conditions, or what happens if the material is not found. Minimal transparency for a tool with no annotations.

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 a single sentence, front-loaded with the action and key fields. Efficient with no wasted words, though a slightly more structured format (e.g., listing behavior) could improve scannability.

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 get tool with one parameter and an output schema (which exists but not shown), the description adequately explains what is returned by listing the fields. It covers the essential context needed for correct usage.

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% for the single parameter material_id, with description 'The material UUID.' The description adds 'Fetch one material' implying the parameter is the identifier, but does not add new semantic information beyond the schema. Meets baseline.

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 clearly states it fetches one material's full detail, listing specific fields (title, content, lang, tags, channels). It distinguishes from sibling tools like search_materials which search, and list tools which list multiple items.

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 implies use when you need full detail of a single material by ID, but does not mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives. With many sibling tools, more explicit guidance would help.

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