kaiten_get_document_group

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. 'Get' communicates a read-only operation, which is useful, but it does not disclose the return shape, error behavior, or any permissions needed. This is minimal but not misleading.

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?

One short sentence with no wasted words. The key qualifier 'by UID' is front-loaded, and every word contributes to identifying the operation.

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 one-parameter getter with full schema coverage, this is close to minimally acceptable. However, with no output schema or annotations, the description does not explain what the returned document group object looks like or how errors are handled, leaving some context for the agent to infer.

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% for the single required parameter, group_uid, which is already documented as 'Document group UID'. The description's 'by UID' phrase adds no additional format or semantic detail beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline.

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 names the exact verb-resource pair: 'Get a Kaiten document group'. The 'by UID' qualifier makes clear this fetches a single specific group, distinguishing it from kaiten_list_document_groups and kaiten_get_document without any ambiguity.

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 'by UID' phrasing implies the tool is for retrieving one known group rather than listing groups, but the description does not explicitly state when to use it versus kaiten_list_document_groups or kaiten_get_document, nor does it mention when not to use it.

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