Api entities object retrieve

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

The description says entities can be 'viewed or edited', implying a write capability, while the annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. That is a direct inconsistency about the tool's side-effect profile. Beyond the contradiction, the description adds no behavioral context of its own (no auth, no return shape, no side effects).

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?

A single short sentence with no wasted clauses, so it is structurally fine and front-loaded. Its brevity is not a virtue here because the content is pure boilerplate rather than information.

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 one-parameter single-object retrieve with no output schema, the description should at minimum state that it fetches one entity by id and that it is read-only. It does the opposite on the read-only point and says nothing about the result, leaving the agent to guess.

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 description coverage is 0% and the single 'id' parameter is an undescribed string. The description does not compensate at all: it never mentions the id, its format, whether it is a UUID or numeric pk, or what happens when the id does not exist.

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?

It names the resource (entities) and gestures at an operation (view or edit), so the agent knows it is about entities. But 'API endpoint that allows entities to be viewed or edited' is generic Django-REST boilerplate and does not distinguish this tool from the many sibling retrievers (entities_retrieve, entities_list, entities_cascade_info_retrieve, entities_object_retrieve), nor does it say which one returns a single entity by id.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite (an id is required), and no reference to any alternative among the numerous entities siblings. The agent must infer usage entirely from the tool name suffix.

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