bookshelf_get_importlist

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. It does not disclose error handling, return value nuances, or anything beyond 'fetch by id', which is already evident from the name and schema. No contradiction with annotations.

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 a single, concise sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. Every word earns its place.

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 simple one-parameter get tool with an output schema and readOnlyHint, the description is minimal but sufficient. It lacks detail on response behavior or id semantics, but the tool's simplicity means this is adequate, though not rich.

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 description says 'by id', which merely repeats the parameter name without adding meaning. With 0% schema description coverage, it fails to clarify the id's role or provide any context beyond the schema's type and requiredness.

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 clearly states the tool fetches a single importlist by id, using the specific verb 'fetch' and the resource 'importlist'. It distinguishes this from list operations like list_importlist and other CRUD actions.

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?

The usage is implied: use this tool when you have a specific id and need that one importlist. However, it does not explicitly state alternatives or when not to use it, relying on the sibling tool names and the 'get' convention.

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