github_repos_get_pages_build

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states a 'Get' operation, implying a read-only action, but does not mention permissions, rate limits, or side effects. It fails to provide any behavioral context beyond the basic action.

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 extremely concise (one sentence, 4 words). It is front-loaded and to the point, but it sacrifices informativeness. It could include more detail without losing conciseness.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description should explain what the tool returns. It does not. Also, no information is given about the build lifecycle or how build_id is obtained. The description is too minimal for a complete understanding.

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 has 100% coverage but each parameter description is just the parameter name (e.g., 'owner', 'repo', 'build_id'), which adds no value. The tool description does not explain these parameters further. The description adds no meaning beyond what the schema provides, and the schema descriptions themselves are trivial.

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 'Get GitHub Pages build' is clear and specific. It uses a verb ('Get') and a specific resource ('GitHub Pages build'). The parameters (owner, repo, build_id) further specify that it retrieves a single build. Among siblings, this is distinct from list_pages_builds (list all) and get_latest_pages_build (latest), so it effectively distinguishes the tool.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_pages_builds or request_pages_build. It does not specify the context or prerequisites. The agent would have to infer usage from the tool name and parameters.

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