show_entry

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes that this is a safe read operation, so the description's main added value is disclosing what is returned: assets such as photos, locations, links, and audio transcripts. It does not mention behavior for missing entries or permission constraints.

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 a single compact sentence with the key resource and return composition front-loaded. It is efficient, though slightly telegraphic rather than fully 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?

An output schema exists, so the description needn't explain return values exhaustively, and annotations cover the safety profile. However, it omits the meaning of entry_id and any routing guidance relative to sibling lookup tools, leaving clear gaps for a simple but parameterized read tool.

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% and the description does not explain the required entry_id parameter at all. Unlike a zero-parameter tool, this description must compensate for the undocumented identifier, and it does not.

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 resource and scope: a single entry plus its associated assets. The singular 'One entry' helps distinguish it from sibling tools like list_entries and search_entries, though the verb is only implied by the tool name.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus list_entries, recent_entries, or search_entries. The single-entry scope is implied, but exclusions and prerequisites are absent.

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