get_topics

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

Annotation Contradiction: Description implies harmless retrieval with 'Get' but annotations mark destructiveHint=true with no explanation for why retrieval is destructive; ignores openWorldHint implications.

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?

Extremely concise and front-loaded, though brevity comes at cost of omitting critical behavioral context implied by annotations.

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?

No output schema exists yet description fails to indicate return structure; does not address destructive nature or side effects flagged in annotations.

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 has 100% description coverage for chat_id; description adds no parameter details but meets baseline given comprehensive 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?

Clear verb 'Get' and resource 'topics (forum threads)' distinguishes from message-oriented siblings, though explicit differentiation from get_messages would strengthen it.

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 guidance on when to use topics vs messages or other retrieval alternatives; lacks when/when-not context.

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