get_ata_rp

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It describes a read operation but mentions no side effects, rate limits, or safety profile. The description is minimal in behavioral disclosure.

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 three sentences, front-loaded with the core function, and no extraneous information. Every sentence adds value, making it concise and well-structured.

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?

Given no output schema, the description should explain what 'full details' entails. It does not describe the return format or structure. While it covers the main functionality, the lack of output context leaves some incompleteness for a tool of this complexity.

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 schema covers 4 of 6 parameters with descriptions (67%). The description adds significant meaning to the undocumented boolean parameters by specifying that includeItens includes items with available balance and supplier info, and includeArquivos includes attached files. This enriches understanding beyond the schema.

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 clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'Ata de Registro de Preço', and mentions optional inclusions. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like search_atas_rp or list_licitacao_itens, lacking explicit sibling differentiation.

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?

The description provides explicit guidance on the identifiers needed (orgaoCnpj/anoCompra/sequencialCompra and sequencialAta) but does not discuss when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to search vs. get details.

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