AplusContent_getContentDocument

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It discloses that a document may not exist ('if available') and mentions the execution environment, but it does not explain what happens when the document is missing, what authorization is needed, what exact data is returned, or whether any side effects occur.

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 short, but not every sentence earns its place. 'Catalog entry' is vague and 'not here' is ambiguous. The core 'Returns an A+ Content document, if available' is front-loaded enough, but the extra phrases add little precision.

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?

With no output schema, no annotations, an empty input schema, and arbitrary additional properties allowed, the description leaves too much unspecified. An agent cannot tell how to identify the document, what request payload or parameters are expected, or what the return value looks like. The tool appears to be a minimal catalog stub.

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 input schema has no defined properties and the context reports zero parameters, so there are no parameter details for the description to supplement. The baseline for zero parameters is 4. However, additionalProperties is true, and the description gives no hint about what identifiers or filters might be passed, which is a latent 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 operation and resource: 'Returns an A+ Content document, if available.' The verb 'Returns' and object 'A+ Content document' make the basic purpose clear, and the 'if available' qualifier hints at conditional existence. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like AplusContent_searchContentDocuments or the create/update variants.

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 tool versus alternatives. The phrase 'Runs in your Kuudo deployment, not here' provides an environment cue but does not explain prerequisites, when to call this vs searchContentDocuments, or how to obtain a document identifier before invoking this tool.

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