Contract Testing: Get BDCT X-Contract Test Results by Consumer

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds no behavioral context beyond stating the fetch operation. No new traits like rate limits or side effects are disclosed, but there is 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 concise with a single functional sentence and a parameter list. The parameter list is somewhat redundant given the schema, but overall no unnecessary content. Front-loaded with the main action.

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?

No output schema is provided, and the description does not describe the return format or structure of results. Missing details on pagination, error handling, or what 'results' contains. Incomplete for a read-only tool with no output schema.

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 input schema has 100% coverage, with each parameter described. The description repeats parameter names but adds no extra meaning or examples. Baseline 3 applies as the schema handles semantics sufficiently.

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 uses a specific verb 'Fetch' and clearly identifies the resource: 'cross-contract verification results for a specific consumer-provider version pair'. The name and title include 'by Consumer', differentiating it from sibling tools like 'get_bdct_cross-contract_verification_results', establishing a distinct purpose.

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 tool versus alternatives, such as when to choose this over 'get_bdct_cross-contract_verification_results' or other BDCT tools. Prerequisites and exclusions are absent, providing minimal context for selection.

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