B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It only says 'get detailed information'; it does not disclose what fields or depth of data are returned, whether authentication/access is required, or how invalid node IDs are handled. The verb 'get' implies read-only, but no additional behavioral detail is given.

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 no filler. Every word contributes to stating the action and the target resource.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a one-parameter read tool, the description is minimally sufficient to make a call, but it does not specify what 'detailed information' contains and does not route the agent away from get_nodes_info. With no output schema and no annotations, that leaves a real gap in selecting and interpreting the call.

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?

The input schema already documents nodeId with 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds 'specific node' but no extra meaning about the ID format, nesting, or addressability of nodes.

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?

The description states a clear action and resource: get detailed information about a specific node in Figma. It is not as strong as it could be because it does not explicitly contrast itself with the plural sibling get_nodes_info or with get_document_info, leaving the distinction to inference.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance about when to choose this tool over get_nodes_info, get_selection, or get_document_info, and no mention of prerequisites or cases where it should not be used. The intended usage is only implicit in the verb 'get'.

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