get_setup

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden; it does disclose the essential behavior — returns setup code including CDN links, i.e., a static read that requires no auth. It does not say whether the returned snippet is HTML/markup, where it must be placed, or whether it is a complete document vs. fragment.

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?

One short front-loaded sentence with zero filler and the key payload (CDN links) called out early. The brevity is appropriate; it could still afford one clause about what the code is for without bloat.

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 one-parameter read-only getter with a fully documented schema and no output schema, the description is minimally sufficient to select and call it. It leaves the agent guessing about the shape of the returned code and its role in the overall setup sequence.

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 coverage is 100% with a single optional enum parameter already documenting the style pack and its default. The description adds nothing about how style selection affects the returned code (e.g., whether CDN URLs differ per style), so baseline 3 applies.

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 (get) and resource (Basecoat CSS setup code) and adds the concrete payload detail of CDN links, which distinguishes it from get_component/get_usage. It does not explicitly name a sibling to avoid, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Usage is only implied by the name and object: an agent can infer this is the bootstrap/install step before pulling components or themes. There is no explicit 'use this when…' condition, no mention of ordering relative to get_theme_script or get_component, and no exclusions.

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