smokeball_get_file

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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavior, but it only describes routing and JWT scope. It fails to state whether the operation is read-only, destructive, or what side effects occur. The agent cannot infer safety or permissions.

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 short, but it wastes space on routing details that may not be helpful for tool selection. The structure is acceptable but could be more informative with less fluff.

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 an output schema, the description does not mention what the tool returns or any behavioral details. Important context about the tool's action and results is missing, making it incomplete for an agent to rely on.

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?

The single parameter 'arguments' is documented as 'JSON string of arguments for the connector operation', adding minimal value beyond the schema's default. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should specify expected keys or structure, but it does not.

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 labels the tool as 'get_file' but does not specify what it retrieves (e.g., file content, metadata). It merely states 'Smokeball connector operation get_file'. Without clarifying the resource or distinguishing it from siblings like smokeball_get_file_download_url, the purpose is vague.

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. It does not mention prerequisites, contexts, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate. The description omits any when-to-use or when-not-to-use advice.

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