radarr_get_system_task_by_id

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already declares this as a safe read operation, and the description's 'Fetch' is consistent with that. The description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., error behavior, permissions, or pagination), but for a simple single-item read operation this is acceptable.

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, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous words. It is concise and immediately understandable.

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 straightforward get-by-id tool with a single required parameter and an output schema, the description is adequate. It does not explain what a 'system task' is, but given the available sibling tools and the presence of an output schema, the description does not leave critical gaps.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description only adds 'by id', which minimally reinforces that the id parameter identifies the task. Since there is only one integer parameter and its name is self-explanatory, the description adds marginal value beyond the schema but does not fully compensate for the lack of detailed parameter documentation.

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 'Fetch a single task by id' uses a specific verb ('Fetch') and resource ('task') and clearly distinguishes from the list variant by specifying 'by id'. It leaves no ambiguity about what the tool does.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives like radarr_get_system_task. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or which sibling to use for listing all tasks, so the agent must infer usage from context alone.

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