get_paragraph

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It discloses that the tool returns text and style, but fails to explicitly state that it is a read-only operation with no side effects, leaving potential ambiguity about permissions or destructiveness.

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 extremely concise, front-loading the purpose and then listing the primary parameter in a structured Args section. Every sentence earns its place with no unnecessary wording.

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?

With an output schema present, the return values are covered elsewhere. The description covers the main parameter and purpose, but does not mention the optional document_handle parameter or any behavioral context. For a simple read tool, this is nearly complete but not fully.

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 0% description coverage; the description adds meaning for the para_id parameter by specifying its format (8-character hex) and an example. However, it omits any explanation for the optional document_handle parameter, which leaves a gap in understanding.

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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'full text and style of a specific paragraph', and distinguishes it from siblings like get_all_paragraphs and get_paragraph_format by specifying the paraId identifier.

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 usage by requiring a paraId, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like get_all_paragraphs or get_paragraph_format, nor does it provide when-not or prerequisite conditions.

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