accelo_get_checklist

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing beyond the basic retrieval action. It says nothing about permissions, error behavior when the ID is invalid, or whether the read is safe/non-mutating.

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?

Front-loaded with the action in the first sentence and no filler. The Args block restates what the schema already encodes, which is mildly redundant but not bloated.

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 two-parameter getter with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the minimum: what it returns (one checklist) and which ID to pass. It stops short of describing the return shape or the optional 'fields' mechanics, which an agent would likely need.

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%, so the description must compensate; it annotates both parameters ('id: Checklist ID', 'fields: Additional fields to return'). The 'fields' gloss adds real meaning, but format, syntax, and valid values for 'fields' are left unspecified.

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 specific verb and resource: 'Get a single checklist by ID.' The 'single' qualifier implicitly distinguishes it from accelo_list_checklists and accelo_count_checklists, though that differentiation is by name pattern rather than explicit statement.

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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The agent must infer from the name that this is the retrieval path once a checklist ID is known. No mention of siblings or prerequisites.

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