Get farm

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

readOnlyHint=true is already declared in annotations, so safety is covered by structured data. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that – nothing about permissions, scoping, error behavior if the farm_id is unknown, or what 'details' includes – so it contributes essentially nothing the agent didn't already have.

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?

A single short sentence with no filler bytes and front-loaded verb+object. It is efficient, though brevity here edges toward under-specification rather than tightness.

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 one-parameter read tool whose annotations and schema are complete, the minimum is met. Still, with no output schema the description could have said what 'details' are returned and how this differs from the other farm-context tools, which would materially help selection.

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 100% and the single farm_id parameter is fully described in the schema as 'The ID of the farm to retrieve'. The description adds no format, source, or constraint details beyond that, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a clear verb (get) and resource (farm) with scope (a specific farm), which an agent can act on directly. However, it does not distinguish itself from siblings such as list_my_farms or get_current_context, so sibling disambiguation is left to inference.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus list_my_farms or get_current_context, nor any stated prerequisite that the farm_id must already be known. The agent gets no routing information.

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