Retrieve a document's structured block tree, returning block types, content, and hierarchy for precise document analysis.

Instructions

[Official API] Get structured block tree of a document. Returns block types, content, and hierarchy for precise document analysis.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, permissions, rate limits, or side effects. The term 'get' implies a read operation, but this is not explicit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and output. No extraneous information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but could be more complete by clarifying usage vs similar read tools or indicating the output format details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There is only one parameter (document_id) with 100% schema coverage. The description adds context about the return value but does not enhance parameter understanding beyond the schema's hint that the ID comes from search_docs or create_doc.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves the structured block tree of a document, specifying block types, content, and hierarchy. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like read_doc or read_doc_markdown.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use for 'precise document analysis' but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like read_doc or provide when-not-to-use guidance. The context suggests a structured vs plain text representation, but no direct guidance.

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