v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only restates the operation ('Get...') and does not disclose whether it is read-only, require permissions, return a particular format, or handle errors. Some behavior may be inferred from 'get', but that is not explicit.
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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. It communicates the core purpose effectively in minimal space.
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?
The tool is simple with one parameter and no output schema, but the description omits any differentiation from siblings and provides no behavioral context. It is minimally viable for a straightforward get-by-identifier tool but has clear gaps around usage and expected output.
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 100% with the identifier parameter already described as 'Product ID or name to search for'. The description repeats the same semantics without adding any new information, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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?
States the verb 'Get', the resource 'specific product', and the identifier forms 'ID or name'. The word 'specific' clearly distinguishes it from get_products, which implies list retrieval. This is a precise and unambiguous definition.
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 on when to use this tool instead of sibling tools like get_products or get_sales. There is no mention of alternatives, prerequisites, or conditions for choosing this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
