get_definition

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

No annotations provided. Description only states purpose without disclosing behavioral traits like return format, read-only nature, or side effects. For a read tool, 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?

Single sentence with no redundant words. Front-loaded with purpose, efficient.

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 low complexity, single parameter, and presence of output schema, description is nearly complete. Could mention that it returns the definition text, but not essential.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, description adds context that 'term' should be from Art. 4. However, no format, allowed values, or examples. Moderately compensates for missing schema descriptions.

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' and resource 'GDPR definition for a specific term (Art. 4)'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'search_definitions' and 'list_definitions' by specifying a single term and referencing Article 4 of GDPR.

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 use for single term definitions from Art. 4 but lacks explicit when to use vs. siblings. No exclusions or alternative guidance provided.

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