sac_translation_get_artifact

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Get metadata', which implies a read operation, but does not explicitly confirm idempotency, side effects, or permissions. No details on what metadata is returned or any constraints.

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, front-loaded, and efficient. It conveys the core purpose without waste. However, it could be slightly expanded to include essential details without losing conciseness.

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 absence of an output schema and annotations, the description should provide more context about the metadata structure, return type, or any prerequisites. It is too minimal for an AI agent to fully understand the tool's behavior and expectations.

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% with a minimal description for artifactId ('Artifact ID'). The tool description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate since the schema already describes the parameter adequately.

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 retrieves metadata for a specific artifact. Verb and resource are specified, and it distinguishes itself from siblings like sac_translation_list_artifacts (list) and sac_translation_download_xliff (download) by focusing on metadata retrieval. However, it could explicitly differentiate from these siblings.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention when to prefer this over sac_translation_list_artifacts or sac_translation_download_xliff. No exclusions or context provided.

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