get_report_snapshot

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

Despite no annotations, description fully discloses it is read-only GET, idempotent, returns immutable JSON with SHA-256 hash and timestamp, and requires no authentication. Covers safety and behavior comprehensively.

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?

Concise, front-loaded with purpose and key traits. Every sentence adds information without redundancy or 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?

No output schema, but description explains return contents (immutable JSON with hash and timestamp). Covers how to get snapshotId and when to use. Lacks mention of error handling for invalid IDs, but sufficient for a simple read tool.

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%, baseline 3. Description adds context: 'Requires snapshotId from create_report_snapshot' and explains format enum values ('JSON data or LLM-ready Markdown'). Adds meaningful value beyond schema.

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?

Explicitly states verb 'Read', resource 'IntoDNS.ai Everything Report evidence snapshot', and distinguishes from sibling 'get_everything_report' which provides current live data. Clear and specific.

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?

Explicitly tells when to use ('verify or re-read an audit-trail evidence record without re-running a live scan') and when not to ('use get_everything_report for current live data instead'). Also names the alternative tool.

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