Get Space

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context about the returned content ('including settings and allowed card types') and the relevance of verbosity=normal/max, but does not go much deeper.

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 two tight sentences. The first front-loads the action and resource; the second adds only high-value drill-down and provenance information. No redundancy or filler.

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 two-parameter read-only fetch with no output schema, the description covers what the response includes, where the ID comes from, and what downstream calls make sense. It could say a bit more about raw/min versus normal/max verbosity behavior, but the schema already documents those enum values.

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 100%, so both parameters are already well documented with types, defaults, and provenance. The description reinforces that spaceId comes from kaiten_list_spaces and hints at verbosity normal/max, but adds limited new meaning beyond the schema.

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: 'Fetch one space by ID.' It also names what is included (settings, allowed card types) and clearly differentiates from sibling list-oriented tools like kaiten_list_spaces by requiring a single known 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?

The description gives clear context for typical drill-down: call kaiten_list_boards(spaceId) and kaiten_list_space_users(spaceId) after fetching the space, and notes that spaceId comes from kaiten_list_spaces. It does not explicitly state when not to use this tool versus alternatives, so it stops short of a 5.

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