get_webex_team

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

With no annotations, the description does well to note the not-found error for unauthorized bots. It implies a read-only operation but does not disclose any further behavioral traits like rate limits or authentication details.

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, using three sentences plus structured Args/Returns. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and contains no extraneous information.

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 get operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential: purpose, parameter, and a critical error condition. It lacks detail on return format but this is acceptable given the tool's simplicity.

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?

The single parameter team_id is described as 'Team ID to get details for (required)', which adds some meaning beyond the schema's type and title. With schema description coverage at 0%, this provides the necessary clarification but is minimal.

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 'Get detailed information about a specific Webex team,' which is a specific verb+resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like delete_webex_team or list_webex_teams.

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 bot access note provides important context about when the tool will fail (if bot not a team member), guiding proper usage. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this over alternative tools.

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