Show A Inspection Item Signature Request

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds context by specifying the endpoint and that it returns a JSON object, though it uses the term 'Inspections' inconsistently.

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 two sentences plus a list of required parameters and API details. It is fairly concise with minor redundancy ('Show...' and 'Use this to fetch...'). No unnecessary information.

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 states 'Returns a JSON object describing the requested Inspections' which is vague but acceptable. It does not cover error responses, rate limits, or specifics about the JSON structure. Annotations provide safety context. Overall adequate for a simple read operation.

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 each parameter has a description in the schema. The description restates required parameters but does not add new meaning or clarify pagination behavior for 'page' and 'per_page' parameters. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description adds minimal value 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 clearly states 'Show the specified Inspection Item Signature Request' with a specific verb and resource. However, it inconsistently refers to 'Inspections' instead of 'Inspection Item Signature Request', which is a minor copy-paste error.

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 Inspections by its identifier', implying a usage context. It lists required parameters but does not provide when-not-to-use guidance or reference alternative sibling tools like 'show_checklist_signature_request'.

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