get_module_info

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve detailed information about a KEGG module by its module ID, with options for summary or full details.

Instructions

Get detailed information for a KEGG module.

Args: module_id: KEGG module ID (e.g. 'M00001' for glycolysis core module). detail_level: 'summary' (default, compact) or 'full' (complete flat-file parse).

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds no behavioral context such as error handling, rate limits, or data freshness, but with annotations, the burden is lower.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise (two short paragraphs) and front-loaded with the main purpose. Every sentence is informative with no fluff or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given two parameters and the presence of an output schema (which covers return values), the description is reasonably complete. It could mention what the returned data contains or edge cases, but overall adequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining module_id with an example ('M00001') and detail_level with meanings ('summary' default, 'full' complete parse). This adds meaningful guidance beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Get detailed information for a KEGG module', specifying the verb 'Get', resource 'KEGG module', and is distinct from sibling tools which focus on other entity types (genes, pathways, etc.).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides parameter examples and details but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or mention prerequisites or limitations. Usage is implied but not fully clarified.

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