Show RFQ Response

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds no significant behavioral information beyond confirming it returns a JSON object. It is consistent with annotations but does not go further.

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 reasonably concise with four sentences that front-load the purpose and usage. It includes the API endpoint, which is helpful, but slightly repetitive on required parameters.

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, the description could have elaborated on the structure of the returned JSON. It mentions 'full details of a specific Commitments' but does not clarify fields. The slight inconsistency (Commitments vs Response) reduces completeness.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description merely repeats the required parameters from the schema without adding new meaning or context.

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 detailed information about a specific RFQ response. It uses a specific verb ('Return detailed information') and resource ('specified Response in a specified RFQ'), distinguishing it from siblings like list or create RFQ response.

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 clear context on when to use the tool ('fetch the full details of a specific Commitments by its identifier'). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives like listing responses first.

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