get_user_profile_v1_users__user_id__get

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

Clearly states it's public, no auth, and returns specific counts. No annotations, but description adequately discloses behavior for a simple read operation.

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?

Short and front-loaded, though the first sentence is slightly repetitive. No unnecessary information.

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?

Covers what the tool does and what it returns. Lacks output schema but description provides enough for a simple GET.

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?

Parameter user_id is explained by the HTTP path but lacks details on format or validation. Schema coverage 0% so description partially compensates.

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?

Purpose is clear: get public profile with specific fields. However, no explicit differentiation from sibling user tools like get_user_activity or get_user_by_query.

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?

Description implies usage (public, no auth) but does not provide when-not-to-use or contrast with alternatives.

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