Api csrf retrieve

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is supplied elsewhere. The description adds only the returned resource and says nothing about authentication requirements, session/cookie coupling, token lifetime, or response format. It does not contradict the annotations, but it adds minimal behavioral 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?

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no redundant detail. Every word serves to identify what the endpoint returns.

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, parameterless GET endpoint with rich annotations and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it omits how the token is delivered and whether authentication/session state is required, which are relevant for a CSRF-token endpoint.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, and the description correctly does not invent parameter guidance. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4; there is no parameter semantics gap.

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 states a specific resource and action: it returns the CSRF token. That is clearer than the title alone and distinguishes it from the many resource-oriented sibling tools. It stops short of a 5 because 'API endpoint' is filler and it does not explicitly contrast with related auth/session endpoints.

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 gives no explicit guidance on when to call this tool, when not to, or what alternative endpoints might serve a related need. An agent can infer that it is used to obtain a CSRF token, but that inference is not stated as usage guidance.

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