Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It states 'Obter' (get), implying a read-only operation, but it does not explicitly mention side effects, authentication requirements, return format, or other behavioral traits. The description adds minimal value beyond the tool's name.
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?
The description is a single, concise sentence that directly communicates the tool's purpose without any fluff. Every word contributes meaning, making it appropriately sized for a simple get operation.
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?
Despite having only one parameter and no output schema, the description does not explain what the board configuration contains or what the tool returns. It also lacks guidance on when to use it over sibling tools. Given the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for an agent to fully understand the tool's expected behavior.
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 description coverage is 100%, with boardId described as 'ID do board'. The description repeats this by saying 'por ID' (by ID), adding no extra meaning. Per the baseline for high schema coverage, this scores 3.
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?
The description clearly states the verb 'Obter' (get), the resource 'configuração de board' (board configuration), and the scope 'por ID' (by ID). It distinguishes itself from siblings like azure_list_boards and azure_update_board by specifying a single board's configuration retrieval.
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?
The description implies usage when a specific board ID is known, but it provides no explicit context on when to use this tool versus alternatives like azure_list_boards or azure_update_board. There is no mention of exclusions or alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
