smokeball_get_layout

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get a Smokeball layout from a connected account using a read-only operation, routed through the project's governed connector authority.

Instructions

Smokeball connector operation get_layout (platform tool smokeball.get_layout).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Required and must be read; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

C2.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that Spring verifies the 'effect' parameter and that routing passes through governed connector authority, which is useful context. However, the approval_ref note about 'resuming a write' is confusing for a read operation and adds little behavioral clarity.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is relatively short and organized as an Args list, but it includes boilerplate and irrelevant content such as approval_ref for writes in a read-only tool. The purpose and usage statements are not front-loaded effectively, and some lines (e.g., 'Spring verifies it') are vague rather than actionable.

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

Completeness2/5

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

While an output schema exists, the description does not explain what a 'layout' is, what the operation returns, or how to fill the 'arguments' JSON. Sibling tools like smokeball_get_layout_contacts and smokeball_get_layout_design imply multiple layout-related capabilities, but this description does not situate get_layout among them, leaving the agent unable to determine when or how to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but the parameter descriptions are largely generic and don't explain operation-specific semantics. For example, 'arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation' fails to specify what arguments get_layout expects. The effect parameter is partially clarified ('must be read'), but the overall guidance is insufficient for an agent to construct correct invocations.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with 'Smokeball connector operation `get_layout`' which essentially restates the tool name without defining what a layout is or what the operation returns. It does not distinguish this from siblings like smokeball_get_layout_design or smokeball_get_layout_contacts, and gives no verb-resource statement beyond the name itself.

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?

The only usage-related sentence, 'Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority', is a routing constraint, not guidance about when to call this tool versus alternatives. No mention of when to use get_layout vs list_layouts or other layout-related tools, and no exclusions are stated.

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