get_project

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden, yet it only lists content categories. It does not state that this is a read-only lookup, what happens with an unknown or inaccessible project_id, permission requirements, or result size/pagination — leaving the agent uninformed about behavior beyond the payload shape.

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?

It is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the enumerated content list earns its place by telling the agent what the payload covers. The only weakness is a slightly sprawling list of six items that blurs the primary purpose.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be spelled out, and the description does convey the breadth of the payload. But for a tool requiring an undocumented identifier with zero annotations, the absence of any input or usage information leaves a meaningful gap.

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 0% and the single required parameter project_id is documented nowhere. The description never mentions that a project identifier is required or what form it takes, so it fails to compensate for the schema gap.

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 characterizes the resource as a project's dossier and enumerates its contents (status, phase, risks, open questions, commitments, timeline), which makes the subject clear. However, it never states the action (retrieve a single project by ID) and offers no differentiation from siblings like get_record or list_projects, so an agent must infer that this is the per-project fetch tool.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus get_record, list_projects, insights, or day_summary. The description implies 'use this to see a project's full picture' but never states a selecting condition or any exclusion.

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