Fetch Attachment By Id (Company)

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description's mention of 'fetch' is consistent, but it fails to clearly communicate the return value. The statement 'Returns a JSON object describing the requested Equipment records' is misleading (should be attachment) and does not add useful behavioral context beyond what annotations provide.

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 relatively short but contains a redundant listing of required parameters and a confusing statement about equipment records. It could be more concise and accurate.

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 absence of an output schema, the description should clearly explain the return structure. It is vague and potentially incorrect. The optional pagination parameters are unexplained, and the overall completeness is insufficient for a tool that fetches a single resource.

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 baseline is 3. The description redundantly lists required parameters without adding meaning beyond the schema. It does not explain the purpose of optional pagination parameters (page, per_page) in the context of a single fetch.

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 title and first sentence clearly state 'Fetch attachment by Id (Company)', but the subsequent sentence says it fetches 'full details of a specific Equipment records', which creates confusion about what is actually returned (attachment vs equipment). This ambiguity undermines purpose clarity.

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 over alternatives such as 'fetch_attachment_by_id_project' or other fetch tools. The description does not indicate context, exclusions, or prerequisites.

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