v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only restates the operation conveyed by the tool name. It does not mention what happens for nonexistent IDs, whether permissions are required, read-only guarantees, or the response shape.
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?
A single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It conveys the resource and operation immediately, making it easy to scan and process.
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?
The tool has no annotations, no output schema, and no parameter documentation, leaving the agent without information about return values, failure behavior, or usage context. The simplicity of the tool mitigates this somewhat, but the overall context is still quite thin.
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%, and the description does not explain the meaning of the id parameter beyond the phrase 'by ID'. Since the schema only exposes id as a number, the description adds little semantic value beyond what can be inferred from the property name.
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), resource (status label), and selection criterion (by ID), which clearly distinguishes it from list-oriented siblings like snipeit_statuslabels_list. It does not name the sibling explicitly, but the 'by ID' qualifier makes the purpose 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 is provided on when to use this tool instead of snipeit_statuslabels_list or snipeit_statuslabels_assets. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or fallback instructions, so the agent must infer usage solely from the name and phrasing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
