get_audience_detail

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states that the tool provides 'detailed information' but does not specify what that information includes (e.g., attributes, metrics), whether the operation is read-only, if there are any side effects, or any authentication requirements. The agent is left guessing about the return format and behavior.

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 sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the key purpose. It could earn its place more by adding behavioral specifics, but as written it avoids redundancy and is easy to parse.

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?

Given the tool has 1 parameter and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what 'detailed information' means, what fields or data the agent can expect in the response, or any performance considerations. For a tool that returns a potentially rich object of audience details, more context is needed.

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 schema coverage is 100%, with a single 'audienceId' parameter already described as 'The audience ID'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 tool gets 'detailed information about a specific audience'. The verb 'get' and resource 'audience' are specific, and the input schema confirms the single required parameter 'audienceId', making the purpose unambiguous. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this from sibling tools like 'get_audience_leads' or 'list_audiences'.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_audience_leads' (which returns leads, not audience details) or 'list_audiences' (which lists all audiences). The description does not mention prerequisites, context, or when not to use this tool.

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