get_skills_api_v1_skills

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

The description provides zero behavioral details beyond the tool name. With no annotations, the agent cannot infer whether this is a read operation, if data is paginated, filtered scoped to the user's permissions, or the shape of the response.

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?

While short, the description is under-specified. Conciseness should not sacrifice essential information; a single two-word phrase does not adequately inform the agent.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema and zero parameters, the description should clarify the scope (e.g., all skills, user-accessible skills). It fails to do so, leaving the agent to guess the tool's behavior.

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 no parameters (100% coverage), so the description carries minimal burden. However, it adds no value beyond the schema: it does not explain implicit behavior like default filters or output format.

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 'Get Skills' is a tautology that restates the tool name without adding specificity. It does not distinguish from sibling tools like get_skill_list_api_v1_skills_list_get or get_skill_by_id_api_v1_skills_id, leaving ambiguity about what exactly is retrieved.

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. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or comparisons to other skills tools, making it unclear whether this is the right choice for listing vs. detailed view.

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