Show Company Upload

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, which cover the safety profile. The description adds the endpoint path (GET) and return type (JSON object), but does not disclose additional behavioral traits like authentication, rate limits, or side effects. This is adequate given the strong 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 extremely concise with four short sentences. It is front-loaded with purpose and usage, followed by return type and required parameters. Every sentence is informative and there is no redundancy or fluff.

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 show tool with rich annotations, the description covers core purpose, usage, endpoint, and required parameters. It mentions the return type. The pagination parameters are documented in the schema, so omission is acceptable. The description is essentially complete for the tool's 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 coverage is 100% with comprehensive parameter descriptions. The description reiterates that company_id and uuid are required and lists them, but adds no meaningful extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 it shows detailed information on an upload and fetches full details by identifier. The name and title align well. While it doesn't explicitly distinguish from siblings, the context with create_company_upload and update_company_upload makes the read purpose evident.

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 explicitly says when to use: to fetch full details of a specific upload. However, it does not provide exclusions or mention alternatives like create or update, which are present among siblings. The guidance is clear but lacks depth.

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