Get Page Breadcrumbs

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

No annotations are provided, so the description is the sole behavioral source. It signals a read-only operation via 'Returns' and names the result type, but it does not disclose ordering, whether the current page is included, or behavior for a root page with no ancestors. These gaps are minor for a simple getter.

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 a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It conveys the essential behavior and result type without unnecessary explanation.

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 read-only tool with an output schema present, the description is largely sufficient. It could mention edge cases like a root page having no ancestors, but the simplicity and available schema mitigate that gap.

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 schema already documents page_id as a required string with 'UUID or slugId of the page,' covering 100% of parameter semantics. The description adds no extra parameter-level detail beyond tying the parameter to the page whose breadcrumbs are returned, which 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 uses a specific verb ('Returns') and a specific resource ('ancestor path (breadcrumbs) of a page'), making the tool's purpose immediately clear. It is easily distinguishable from siblings like get_page and list_child_pages, which serve different navigation roles.

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 when to use the tool: whenever a page's breadcrumb/ancestor path is needed. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusion conditions, leaving the agent to infer the usage boundary from the sibling list.

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