smartsheet_get_sheet_version

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

No annotations provided. The description adds no behavioral details (e.g., read-only nature, rate limits, permissions). The term 'lightweight' hints at quickness but lacks specifics.

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 with no fluff. Every word earns its place: verb, resource, scope ('current version number'), and efficiency hint ('lightweight').

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 description is minimal for a simple resource, but without an output schema it could clarify the return format (e.g., integer). Overall adequate but slightly incomplete.

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% for the single parameter (sheet_id). The description does not add meaning beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('Get a sheet's current version number') and the resource ('sheet'), and the word 'lightweight' distinguishes it from full-sheet retrieval tools like smartsheet_get_sheet.

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 implies lightweight usage (only version number), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives like smartsheet_get_sheet. No guidance on exclusions or prerequisites.

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