read_kendo_doc

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

No annotations are provided, but the description discloses that the tool returns an article in Markdown format with a list of demos. Being a read-only operation, no destructive behavior exists. Lacks error handling details, but adequate for a simple read.

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?

Two concise sentences: first conveys core purpose and format, second adds demo info and sibling guidance. No wasted words.

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 documentation reader with one parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently covers input and output behavior. Minor omission: no mention of error states. Overall complete enough for typical use.

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 covers the only parameter (path) with already a clear description. The description adds practical guidance: 'Remember to include the component prefix if you extracted it from a grouped list', which adds value beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states verb ('reads') and resource ('Kendo UI documentation article') and adds format ('Markdown') and included demos. Distinguishes from sibling read_demo_source.

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?

Explicitly names a sibling alternative (read_demo_source) for when demo source code is needed. Lacks explicit when-not conditions for other siblings, but the purpose is specific enough.

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