vapi_get_tool

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'Get' implying a read operation, but provides no details on response format, required permissions, rate limits, or potential errors. Minimal behavioral context.

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 sentence with no unnecessary words, fitting for a simple getter. However, it could include a brief example or clarify the parameter without losing conciseness.

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?

Given no output schema, no annotations, and a single parameter, the description is incomplete. It omits return value details, error conditions, and how the tool fits into the broader context of Vapi tools. An agent would need additional context to use it reliably.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no meaning to the single parameter 'id'. It does not explain that the ID likely refers to a tool ID or how to obtain it. The parameter semantics are entirely underspecified.

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 'Get a specific Vapi tool' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('Vapi tool'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like vapi_create_tool, vapi_update_tool, vapi_delete_tool, and vapi_list_tools.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., vapi_list_tools to find the ID first) or when not to use it. The description lacks explicit context for proper usage.

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