read_note

Retrieve the full text of an indexed note using its relative path. Use it to open and read a complete document after finding it through a keyword search.

Instructions

Read the full text of one indexed document by its relative path.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Read' clearly signals a non-destructive operation, but it says nothing about behavior for a missing/invalid path, whether output is truncated for large documents, or any indexing staleness caveats.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler; every clause (full text, one document, relative path) carries information an agent needs.

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?

For a simple one-parameter read tool with no output schema and full schema coverage, the definition is close to complete. The only material gap is failure behavior for bad paths, which is minor given the tool's simplicity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter already documents itself as a relative path returned by search_notes. The description restates 'relative path' without adding format, encoding, or error-handling detail, so baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Read the full text of one indexed document') plus the key scope qualifier 'by its relative path', which distinguishes it from the search/list siblings. It does not name the siblings explicitly, so differentiation is implied rather than stated.

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?

Usage is only implied: the schema note 'as returned by search_notes' hints at the workflow (search first, then read), and 'one document' implies this is not a bulk operation. However, the description never says when to choose this over search_notes or list_notes, nor what to do if the path is unknown.

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