get_ge_latest

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. States it gets latest high and low prices, which implies a read operation. No mention of side effects or rate limits. Acceptable for a simple GET tool but lacks extra 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?

Single sentence of 14 words, directly stating purpose. No unnecessary words or repetition. Efficiently communicates core functionality.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, description captures essential information. Could be improved by noting the return format (high and low prices) but current completeness is sufficient for accurate invocation.

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 coverage is 100% and parameter description is clear ('The item ID to get the latest price for'). Description adds 'by its ID' reinforcing the parameter. Baseline score since schema already explains the parameter.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Get', resource 'latest Grand Exchange high and low prices', and target 'specific item by its ID'. Distinguishes from siblings like get_ge_timeseries (timeseries) and search_ge_items (search).

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?

Implies usage for retrieving latest prices but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_ge_timeseries for historical data, search_ge_items for finding item IDs). Adequate but lacks exclusions.

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