Api document revisions editing status retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds little behavioral context beyond the bare query intent: it does not describe what editing status is returned, whether editor identity is included, or how it relates to editing sessions. With no output schema, this is a notable omission.

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 short sentence with no wasted words, and it is front-loaded. However, its extreme terseness leaves critical semantics unexplained, so it is concise but undersized for the available context.

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 read endpoint with no output schema and one undocumented parameter, the description should at least identify what 'id' refers to and what the response contains. It provides neither, and it does not connect to the sibling editing tools, so an agent lacks the context needed to call it confidently.

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 single parameter 'id' has 0% schema description coverage, and the description does not explain what it identifies. An agent cannot tell whether it is a document revision ID, a document ID, or a user ID from the description. This fails to compensate for the schema 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 action, 'Check who is currently editing,' which implies a read-only status query for an editing session. However, it never identifies the resource as a document revision and does not distinguish this from siblings like start_editing, stop_editing, or take_over_editing. The purpose is inferable but vague without the tool name.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus related editing endpoints such as start_editing, take_over_editing, or edit_history. The word 'currently' weakly implies a point-in-time status check, but no alternatives or preconditions are named.

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