Feeds_getFeed

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden. It discloses only that execution happens in a 'Kuundo deployment' and that resultDocumentId may be included. It does not state read-only behavior, required authorization, error conditions, or what happens when no feed matches.

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 the first sentence 'Catalog entry.' adds no operational information. The remaining two sentences are reasonably concise, yet the purpose statement is buried after environment 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 tool with no annotations, no output schema, and an effectively empty input schema, this description is insufficient: it omits the required feed identifier, does not explain the feed details structure beyond resultDocumentId, and gives no error or availability context.

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 zero properties with additionalProperties: true, so no parameter names or formats are provided by the schema. The description says 'for the feed that you specify' but never identifies the feed parameter (e.g., feedId) or its type/requirement, leaving the agent unable to construct a valid call.

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 clear verb and resource: 'Returns feed details ... for the feed that you specify.' This conveys a single-feed fetch and can be loosely separated from list operations by the singular 'feed.' However, it does not explicitly differentiate from Feeds_getFeedDocument or Feeds_getFeeds, and the opening 'Catalog entry' adds ambiguity.

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?

No guidance is given for when to call this versus sibling feed tools such as Feeds_getFeeds (list) or Feeds_getFeedDocument (retrieve document contents). The line 'Runs in your Kuundo deployment, not here' hints at an environment restriction but does not state what tool to choose instead or what conditions select this one.

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