get_group_details

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

No annotations. Description only says 'Fetch', implying a read operation, but does not disclose details like permissions required, rate limits, or whether the operation is idempotent. With zero annotation support, more behavioral context is needed.

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?

Single sentence is efficient with no wasted words. However, it is under-specified; key information about usage and behavior is missing, making it less helpful despite brevity.

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 the output schema exists, return values are covered. For a one-parameter read tool, the description is minimally adequate but lacks differentiation from siblings and does not explain what 'details' entail. Could be improved with brief examples or note on typical usage.

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 coverage is 0%, meaning the description adds minimal value beyond schema. Mentioning 'by group_id' provides basic context, but no details on format, constraints, or examples. The schema already labels it 'Group Id', so overlap is high.

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?

Clearly states 'Fetch details for a group by group_id', specifying the verb 'Fetch' and resource 'details for a group'. Contrasts with siblings like 'get_group_list' (returns list) and 'get_group_contacts' (returns contacts), implying distinct purpose.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as 'get_group_list' or 'get_group_contacts'. Lacks context for typical use cases or exclusions.

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