v2.1.1Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits, but it only implies a read operation via 'Get'. It does not mention whether the returned data is a full object, how to handle missing races, or any auth/scoping constraints, so the agent is left without behavioral context.
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 single sentence is concise and front-loaded, but it is under-specified rather than economically informative. It lacks parameter details and context, so the brevity comes at the cost of usefulness.
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 there is no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete: it does not explain what details are returned, how the two required parameters work, or how this tool relates to the other get_*/list_* siblings.
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 description coverage is 0% and the description mentions neither 'campaignId' nor 'id', so parameters are completely unexplained. An agent cannot infer that 'id' is the race ID and 'campaignId' scopes the request to a campaign.
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 states a clear action ('Get') and resource ('a race'), and the tool name confirms the entity type, distinguishing it from sibling get_* tools by resource. However, it does not specify that the race is scoped to a campaign or what 'details' includes, so it stops short of full clarity.
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 instead of list_races, search, or other get_* tools. There are no exclusions or alternative routing, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
