Get Project

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

Description implies read-only behavior ('Get information'), but no explicit statement of non-destructive nature. With no annotations, the description could be more explicit about safety and idempotency.

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 with no fluff. Front-loads the action and resource, then provides examples.

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?

For a zero-parameter, simple read operation, the description is fully adequate. It covers what the tool does and hints at return fields.

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?

No parameters, so description only needs to clarify output. It adds value by listing example fields (name, uuid, etc.), which helps the agent understand what information is returned.

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?

Description clearly states it retrieves project info with specific fields listed (name, uuid, etc.). It distinguishes from sibling tools that perform mutations like add_project_locale or set_default_project_locale.

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 versus alternatives. While it's implicitly the only read-only project tool, there is no explicit when-to or when-not-to context.

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