B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

readOnlyHint=true already tells the agent this is a safe read, so the description's job is to add context. It does disclose the shape of what comes back (revision, projections, links), which is useful given there is no output schema, but it says nothing about not-found behavior, permissions, or scoping by farm_id.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every clause adds information: singular scope, the typed nature of the event, and the returned components.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple two-parameter read with no output schema, the description gives a usable sketch of the return payload but omits parameter meaning and error/empty-case behavior. Adequate but with clear gaps an agent would need to guess at.

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 carry the burden for two parameters and it carries none. It never explains what event_id identifies, whether it is a UUID or a typed key, or what the optional farm_id scopes or overrides.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb (Get) and resource (one typed traceability event) and names the payload components (current revision, projections, links). 'One typed event' implicitly distinguishes it from list_traceability_events and get_traceability_event_revisions, but it never names those siblings explicitly.

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?

No statement of when to use this tool versus list_traceability_events, get_traceability_event_revisions, or correct/void_traceability_event. The only hint is 'one', which implies a single-entity fetch rather than a list, leaving the agent to infer the routing decision.

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