Show A Budgeted Production Quantity

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

The description adds that the tool 'Returns a JSON object describing the requested Budget records', which is standard behavior. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description does not disclose additional behavioral traits like rate limits or potential errors, thus adding limited value beyond 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 concise with four sentences, front-loading the purpose and then providing endpoint information. It is efficient and to the point, though the endpoint line might be considered extra detail for some users.

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?

For a simple GET-by-ID tool, the description covers the purpose, resource, and endpoint. It does not explain the effect of pagination parameters (which may be ignored for single resource fetch) and there is no output schema, but the return type is stated as JSON. Overall, it is mostly complete for its complexity.

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 the baseline is 3. The description only repeats the required parameters (project_id, id) from the schema without adding further meaning or explanation for the optional parameters (page, per_page). No extra insight is provided.

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 explicitly states 'Show a Budgeted Production Quantity associated with the specified Project' and 'fetch the full details of a specific Budget records by its identifier'. The verb 'show' clearly indicates a read operation, and the resource is well-defined. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create, update, delete, and list.

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?

The description says 'Use this to fetch the full details of a specific Budget records by its identifier', which implies it is for retrieving a single record. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or provide alternatives such as listing all records. The context is clear but lacks exclusions.

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