Get Project

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It simply says 'Fetch a single project by its UUID' without disclosing error behavior (e.g., 404 for missing project), permission requirements, or any side effects. The verb implies read-only, but essential behavioral context is absent.

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?

A single sentence with no filler; the core operation and identifier are stated in the most direct way possible. It is perfectly front-loaded and appropriately sized.

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?

The tool is simple (single parameter, output schema provided), so the missing context is less severe than for complex tools. However, the description still lacks explicit usage guidance and behavioral disclaimers, making it only minimally complete for an agent deciding between this and sibling tools.

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%: `project_id` already explains it is a Project UUID from `list_projects`. The tool description's phrase 'by its UUID' adds no new meaning, so the schema does the heavy lifting and the description provides no additional semantic value.

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 states a clear verb ('Fetch'), a specific resource ('a single project'), and the key parameter ('by its UUID'). It distinguishes from siblings like list_projects by the 'single' qualifier and from other get_* tools by naming 'project' as the resource.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance. The parameter description hints that the UUID comes from `list_projects`, implying a workflow, but the tool description itself does not state when to choose `get_project` over `list_projects` or other retrieval tools. At best, usage is implied by the noun 'single project.'

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