get_task

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

With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'get full details' but does not mention permissions, rate limits, side effects, or what 'full details' includes. The read-only nature is implicit but insufficient.

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 one sentence and front-loaded with purpose. However, the environment tag '[Official API + UAT, v1.3.7]' adds unnecessary length for an agent, though it may be useful context for developers. Still, it is efficient overall.

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 get-by-GUID tool with no output schema, the description lacks details on return format, error cases, or any limitations. An agent cannot fully predict the response without additional information.

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 coverage is 100% and the parameter description already explains the GUID source. The tool description adds minimal extra meaning ('by GUID'), so it meets baseline but does not improve understanding.

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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'full details of a single task by GUID', distinguishing it from siblings like list_tasks (multiple tasks) and create_task/delete_task/update_task (mutations). It specifies the identifier type (GUID), making the purpose unambiguous.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_tasks to find GUIDs, update_task after reading). The parameter description hints at sources of GUID but does not explain when to prefer this tool over others.

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