Show Checklist Schedule

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, so the description adds limited behavioral context beyond confirming it returns a JSON object. It includes the endpoint URL, which is useful but not critical for behavior. 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 three sentences long and front-loaded with the main action. It includes a bit of repetition (e.g., endpoint info could be omitted) but overall maintains reasonable conciseness.

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?

The description covers the basic purpose and required parameters, but the confusion between 'Checklist Schedule' and 'Inspections' creates a gap. Pagination parameters are not mentioned, though they are documented in the schema. Given the complexity of the tool (4 params, no output schema), the description is adequate but not fully precise.

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 description does not need to add much. It restates required params (project_id, id) but does not explain their meaning beyond what the schema already provides. No additional value for optional params (page, per_page).

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 action ('Retrieves Checklist Schedule') and the resource, but it introduces ambiguity by referring to 'Inspections' (plural) instead of 'Schedule'. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like 'list_checklist_inspection_schedules' by specifying it fetches full details of a single 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?

The description provides a usage context ('fetch the full details of a specific Inspections by its identifier') but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternative tools (e.g., list endpoint). The guidance is present but minimal.

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