get_preparatory_works

Get preparatory works for a Swedish statute by its SFS number. Returns linked propositions, government reports, and ministry memoranda.

Instructions

Get preparatory works (forarbeten) for a Swedish statute. Returns linked propositions, SOUs, and Ds documents. Coverage depends on dataset tier — call 'about' to check.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It mentions coverage dependency and suggests checking 'about', but lacks details on error handling, authentication, or what happens when the statute has no preparatory works.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description consists of two efficient sentences, each adding value. It front-loads the core purpose and includes a key usage hint without extraneous text.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the basic return type and a coverage caveat. However, it lacks details on response structure and when to prefer this over similar tools like search_legislation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with a clear pattern and description. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves preparatory works for Swedish statutes, specifying the resource type (propositions, SOUs, Ds) and distinguishing it from sibling tools by naming specific document types.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description advises calling 'about' to check coverage, providing context-dependent usage guidance. However, it does not explicitly exclude other usage scenarios or compare with sibling tools beyond the return types.

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