Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the logic for the 'getHighlights' tool by fetching highlights for a given Raindrop bookmark ID from the Raindrop.io API.
    async getHighlights(raindropId: number): Promise<Highlight[]> {
      const { data } = await this.client.GET('/raindrop/{id}/highlights', {
        params: { path: { id: raindropId } }
      });
      if (!data?.items) throw new Error('No highlights found');
      return [...data.items];
    }
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves highlights but doesn't mention whether this is a read-only operation, what permissions are needed, how results are formatted, or any rate limits. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'highlights' are, how they are returned, or any behavioral traits like error handling. For a tool with no structured support, more context is needed to guide effective use.

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?

The description implies the parameter 'raindropId' identifies a bookmark, but the schema already provides 100% coverage with a clear description ('Bookmark ID'). No additional semantic context is added, such as where to find the ID or format examples, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without extra value.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Get highlights') and the target resource ('for a specific bookmark'), which is a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'getAllHighlights' or 'getHighlightsByCollection', which handle highlights retrieval differently.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'getAllHighlights' or 'getHighlightsByCollection'. It lacks explicit instructions on prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative contexts, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.

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