accelo_get_holiday

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden but only says it is a read of a single record. It says nothing about permissions, error behavior for invalid IDs, return format, or what '(Beta)' implies for stability.

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 short, front-loaded with the purpose, and the args block is functional. It is not padded, though the '(Beta)' tag adds little and the arg lines are terse.

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 two-parameter getter with no output schema this is roughly adequate, but with 0% schema description coverage the description should do more work on the fields parameter and return expectations than it currently does.

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 is the only source of parameter meaning. It labels id as 'Holiday ID' and fields as 'Additional fields to return', which is minimal and gives no format, syntax, or accepted-value detail for the fields parameter.

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 holiday by ID'), which clearly distinguishes it from the sibling accelo_list_holidays and the create/update/delete holiday tools. The '(Beta)' flag is incidental, but the core purpose is unambiguous.

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 on when to use this versus accelo_list_holidays or accelo_count_holidays, nor any mention of prerequisites such as needing a valid holiday ID. Usage context is left entirely to inference from the name.

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