Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
issueIdOrKeyYesThe issue ID or key of the ticket
Behavior4/5

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

The description indicates a read operation ('Return'), but with no annotations, it could be more explicit about being non-destructive. Still, it clearly conveys the action is safe.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single focused sentence that front-loads the verb and specifies the result scope. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately explains what is returned. Could mention error behavior or that summary is the same as name, but overall sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds no extra meaning to the parameter beyond the schema's description. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it returns 'only summary and plain-text description' for an issue, which is specific and distinguishes it from siblings like get_ticket that likely return more fields.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The name and description imply it's for when only summary and description are needed, but no explicit guidance on when to use this vs siblings like get_ticket or read_ticket.

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