Show Action Plan Receiver Signature

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the tool returns a paginated JSON array with metadata and mentions pagination parameters. It does not disclose additional behaviors like error handling or rate limits, but for a read tool, this is adequate.

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 moderately concise with four sentences. It front-loads the purpose and usage, but includes some redundancy and the awkward phrase 'Action Plans' plural. It could be streamlined without losing 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 no output schema and 4 parameters, the description covers the basic return type (paginated JSON array with metadata) and mentions the API endpoint. However, it does not describe the signature object structure or any error conditions, which would be helpful for a complete picture.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description repeats that project_id and plan_receiver_id are required and mentions pagination controls, but does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 the tool retrieves details of an Action Plan Receiver Signature, with a specific verb and resource. However, it confusingly refers to 'Action Plans' plural when describing the return value, which slightly muddies the 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?

The description provides a basic use case ('fetch the full details of a specific Action Plans by its identifier') but offers no guidance on when to use this tool over sibling tools like show_action_plan_approver_signature or show_action_plan_item_assignee_signature. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.

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