Show Project Date

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 does not need to repeat these. It adds context about the API endpoint and return type (JSON), but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations provide.

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 three sentences, front-loading the purpose. The last sentence could be integrated for tighter structure, but overall it is efficient without unnecessary words.

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 tool has no output schema, so the description should explain return values more concretely. It states 'Returns a JSON object describing the requested Project records', which is vague. Given low complexity and good annotations, the description is adequate but could be more complete, especially regarding pagination parameters that seem irrelevant for a single record.

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 already well-documented. The description only reiterates that id and project_id are required, without adding semantic meaning or clarifying the role of optional parameters (page, per_page) for this single-record fetch. Baseline score applies.

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 fetches details of a specific Project Date by identifier, using verbs like 'Show details' and 'fetch full details'. However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like list_project_dates or other show_project_date versions, which is a minor gap.

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 implies usage for fetching a single record via required parameters, but it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_project_dates for multiple records). No exclusions or context-specific advice is given.

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