Get Schedule Metadata

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds pagination behavior (page/per_page) and endpoint URL, which is useful but does not disclose any additional traits like rate limits or authentication specifics. No contradiction with annotations.

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 poorly structured: it includes an extraneous, truncated table of schedule types and mixes instructions with endpoint details. It is not front-loaded with the core purpose, making it less concise and harder to parse.

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 no output schema, the description could do more to describe the structure of the returned metadata objects. It mentions a paginated JSON array and pagination metadata but lacks detail. For a simple read tool, it is minimally acceptable but incomplete.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters (project_id, page, per_page) including defaults and limits. The description reinforces project_id as required and mentions pagination, but adds no new semantic information beyond the schema.

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 states it returns metadata about the project's schedule including integration configuration, but it also confusingly mentions fetching by identifier despite no such parameter in the schema. This contradiction reduces clarity. It does not clearly distinguish from sibling tools like list_schedules or get_schedule_by_id.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_schedules or get_schedule_by_id. The description does not provide when-not or exclusion criteria, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name and description alone.

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