get_session_details

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

The description indicates a read operation via 'Get', which is the primary behavioral trait. With no annotations provided, the description carries the disclosure burden, but it does not mention error behavior, authentication requirements, or what specific details are returned.

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, focused sentence with no filler or redundant content. The core action, resource, and scoping detail are all included efficiently.

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 one-parameter retrieval tool, the description is adequate and gives the essential purpose. However, with no output schema, it leaves the phrase 'detailed information' unspecified and gives no indication of not-found behavior or response structure, creating a minor 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?

The input schema already fully documents the single sessionId parameter with a clear description. The tool description adds only the 'by its ID' phrasing, which restates the schema without providing additional semantic value.

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 a specific verb ('Get'), resource ('Ignite session'), and scope ('by its ID'), making it easy to understand what the tool does. It is distinct from sibling list/search tools, though it does not explicitly name them.

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 this tool should be used when you have a session ID and need detailed information about that session. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives like get_all_sessions or search_sessions.

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