get_table

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

The description specifies the return format but does not mention error behavior (e.g., out-of-bounds index) or any side effects. Since no annotations are provided, more disclosure would be beneficial.

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 very concise and front-loaded, stating the purpose first. It uses only two sentences. Could be slightly more structured but effective.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essential aspects. However, it lacks explicit mention of index validation or error scenarios.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds only that the index is '0-based'. It does not clarify valid ranges, constraints, or error handling. The return schema is provided but not parameter details.

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 action ('Get structured info') and the target resource ('single table by index'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_tables which retrieves all tables.

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 when you have a specific index, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or which alternatives to consider (e.g., get_tables, modify_cell).

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