get_schema

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Closed JSON Schema' hints at schema structure, but the description does not state that this is a read-only operation, whether it requires authentication, or other operational traits beyond the return value already covered by the output schema.

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 short sentence with no wasted words. However, its terseness borders on under-specification, and the key action is not front-loaded.

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?

For a simple no-parameter getter with an output schema, the description provides the core return value. It is still incomplete because it does not clarify usage relative to siblings or what 'one Regime Feed issue' means in context.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The schema correctly contains an empty properties object, and no parameter semantics are needed.

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 identifies the resource as a 'Closed JSON Schema' for 'one Regime Feed issue,' but it is written as a noun phrase without a clear action verb and does not differentiate this from sibling tools like get_latest_issue or get_catalog. An agent can infer it retrieves a schema, but the exact scope remains vague.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool, when not to use it, or which sibling tools are alternatives. It does not explain the context in which an agent should prefer schema retrieval over issue retrieval.

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