Get a report with its snapshot data

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the response bundles snapshot data (the report plus its captured metrics), which is real behavioral context, but it says nothing about permissions, error cases, or whether the snapshot is a frozen point-in-time capture.

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?

One short sentence with the verb and the resource front-loaded, and the HTTP path parenthetical is compact and useful. It is efficient, though the extreme brevity leaves real gaps rather than trimming waste.

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 (one required param, no nesting) and annotations cover safety, so the short description is close to adequate. However, with no output schema and no documentation of the id parameter, the agent gets no sense of what a "snapshot" contains or how to distinguish this call from reports_list.

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 0% for the single parameter, so the schema only supplies a bare string type. The endpoint path "GET /v1/reports/{id}" implies that id is the report identifier, which adds a little meaning, but nothing about its format (slug, UUID, numeric) is stated.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Get a report") plus the returned payload ("with its snapshot data"), which is more informative than the title alone. It does not distinguish itself from nearby siblings such as reports_list, reports_generate, or publicReports_get, so the agent must infer the boundary.

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 when-to-use guidance: nothing says when to fetch a single report versus calling reports_list or reports_generate. No prerequisites, no exclusions, and no alternative named.

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