Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as authorization requirements, whether the operation is read-only, or if it returns full chat details. The name implies a read operation but provides no further context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise at four words, but it lacks structure and useful details. It is under-specified, failing to justify its brevity with adequate information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Although an output schema exists, the description does not hint at what is returned. Given the many sibling tools for different chat retrieval scenarios, the description is incomplete and does not help an agent understand the tool's scope.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description should compensate by explaining the 'id' parameter. It merely includes 'By Id' in the name, which is insufficient. The schema provides the parameter title but no additional semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Get Chat By Id' clearly states the action (get) and resource (chat) and identifies the key parameter (id). However, it does not differentiate from other get-chat tools like 'get_session_user_chat_list_api_v1_chats' or 'get_shared_session_user_chat_list_api_v1_chats', which could cause confusion about which chat is being retrieved.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_session_user_chat_list_api_v1_chats' or 'get_user_chat_list_by_tag_name_api_v1_chats'. This lack of guidance could lead an agent to select the wrong tool.

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