tilemap_get_cell

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

No annotations exist. Description does not disclose behavior for edge cases (e.g., empty cells, invalid coordinates, return format). Minimal transparency.

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?

Very concise single sentence. However, it could add more value without becoming verbose (e.g., clarifying 'tile data' format).

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?

No output schema, no annotations, and no guidance on return values or behavior. Incomplete for a tool that retrieves data.

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 descriptions for both parameters. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, 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 'Get the tile data at a specific cell' clearly states the verb (get) and resource (tile data at a specific cell). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like tilemap_get_info (whole map) and tilemap_get_used_cells (list cells).

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 siblings like tilemap_get_info or tilemap_get_used_cells. 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.
