getPokeathlonStatByName

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'Get information' without clarifying if the tool is read-only, what data is returned, or any side effects. The description omits behavioral traits like authentication needs or rate limits.

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, efficient sentence. Every word is necessary and front-loaded with the key action. It avoids extraneous information, making it quick to parse.

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 (single parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is minimally adequate. However, it does not specify what 'information' is returned (e.g., ID, description, stats), leaving some ambiguity. Could benefit from listing return fields.

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% (one parameter 'name' described). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema—it doesn't explain what constitutes a valid name or provide examples. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description does not hinder but also doesn't enhance 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 tool retrieves information about a pokeathlon stat by name, with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('pokeathlon stat'). The name and description together clearly distinguish it from sibling tools that target different resources (abilities, berries, etc.).

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., other getXByName tools). It does not specify prerequisites, typical use cases, or when not to use it. This lack of context leaves the agent to infer usage solely from the name.

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