get_site_elements

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world), so the bar is lower. The description adds genuine context the annotations cannot: posters are returned inline while video is delivered as URLs, which shapes how the agent handles the payload. It omits pagination or result-limit 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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the leading clause carries the action and the trailing parenthetical enumerates content types. Slightly dense with the nested list, but nothing is wasted.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully characterizes the return payload (inline posters, video URLs). It stops short of covering volume, ordering, or empty-result behavior for a site with no elements, which is the main remaining gap.

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 100% and even supplies a format hint ('l-i-s-a'), so the parameter is fully documented structurally. The description adds no syntax or sourcing detail beyond implying a single-site identifier, making the baseline 3 correct.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Get the design-element highlights of one Awwwards site') and enumerates the component types returned (3D models, video content, mobile layouts, microcopy). The single-site scope implicitly separates it from search_elements/get_element, though no sibling is named outright.

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?

Usage is only implied: 'of one Awwwards site' signals per-site retrieval, but there is no explicit when-to-use, when-not, or pointer to alternatives such as search_elements for cross-site queries. An agent must infer the routing itself.

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