Api metrology dashboards object retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered structurally and there is no contradiction. However, the description contributes zero behavioral context beyond the name — no note on what is returned or what the 'id' refers to.

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?

It is short, but that brevity comes from under-specification rather than efficiency — there is no front-loaded statement of action or scope to compress, just a repeated identifier.

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 single-record retrieval with no output schema and no annotations explaining the return payload, the description should at least say it fetches one dashboard by id. As written, an agent has essentially nothing beyond the parameter name.

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% for the single required 'id' parameter, so the description must carry that burden and does not. It never states that 'id' is a dashboard identifier or its format, leaving the only parameter undocumented.

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 is nothing but the tool name repeated verbatim ('api_metrology_dashboards_object_retrieve'), which is a tautology rather than an explanation. Only the encoded name hints at 'retrieve one metrology dashboard object', and it does nothing to distinguish this from siblings such as ciso_assistant_api_metrology_dashboards_retrieve or _list.

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 at all about when to use this tool versus the several near-identical metrology dashboard siblings (list, retrieve, object_retrieve). The agent must infer intent entirely from the name.

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