tp_get_workout_comments

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It merely states 'Get comments,' omitting details like authentication requirements, whether the workout must be owned by the user, or if comments are returned in any particular order. The description adds minimal value beyond the 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 at one sentence, front-loaded with the key action. However, given the simplicity of the tool, it could afford to add a bit more context (e.g., return format) without being overly long.

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?

The tool has no output schema, no annotations, and sibling tools like tp_add_workout_comment and tp_get_workout_note suggest overlapping functionality. The description does not clarify scope (e.g., whether it returns only the user's comments or all comments) or how comments differ from notes. It lacks context to fully guide an AI agent.

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 covers 50% of parameters with descriptions (athlete has a description, workout_id does not). The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. For the undocumented workout_id, no format or constraints are given, and the athlete description is already sufficient in the 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?

The description uses the verb 'Get' and the resource 'comments on a workout,' clearly indicating the tool's action and target. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like tp_get_workout_note or tp_add_workout_comment, which could cause confusion.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or context such as whether the user must own the workout or have permission. The description is purely functional.

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