Show Project Date

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint true, destructiveHint false, idempotentHint true. The description adds that it returns a JSON object and shows details, but does not disclose further behavioral traits like auth needs or rate limits. Minimal added value.

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 two sentences and key details (required params, endpoint). It front-loads the purpose. No unnecessary information, though the API path might be less useful for an agent.

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 retrieval tool, the description is fairly complete: it specifies what it does, what it returns, and required parameters. No output schema exists, so the mention of JSON object is adequate. It lacks error scenarios but is sufficient for basic use.

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 parameters are well-documented. The description repeats required params (id, project_id) but does not enrich them with contextual meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 due to high coverage.

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 details of a specific Project Date and fetches full details by identifier. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'show_project_date_v1_0_2' or list tools.

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 indicates when to use (to fetch full details by identifier) and lists required parameters, but it does not provide guidance on when not to use or compare with alternatives like list or create/update tools.

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