Search AsyncAPI Spec

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states that the tool returns 'matching snippets' without explaining search behavior (e.g., exact match, fuzzy), output format, or any side effects. Critical traits like read-only nature are assumed but not stated.

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 a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, with no unnecessary words. Every word earns its place.

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?

Despite having three parameters with full schema descriptions, the tool lacks an output schema. The description does not clarify the structure of the returned snippets, ordering, or pagination. With no annotations, this is a notable gap for an information retrieval tool.

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 100%, so the schema already documents each parameter (version, query, limit). The description adds context about the source ('the latest AsyncAPI markdown specification') and that it returns snippets, but does not add value beyond what the schema descriptions provide. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the verb (Search), the resource (AsyncAPI markdown specification), and the result (matching snippets). It distinguishes from sibling tools: get_asyncapi_spec_metadata gets metadata, get_asyncapi_spec_section gets a specific section, and list_asyncapi_spec_versions lists versions.

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?

The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it or any prerequisites. Given the presence of sibling tools with distinct purposes, explicit direction on selection is missing.

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