get_route_details

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 only says 'Get route details', which implies a read operation, but it does not disclose authentication behavior, return format, or what data constitutes 'route details'. Nothing contradicts the schema, but the behavior is under-specified.

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, direct sentence: 'Get route details for a request'. It is front-loaded and wastes no words. However, its brevity comes at the cost of missing useful context, so it is concise but not rich.

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?

With 5 parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and 38 sibling tools, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what route details are needed for, how authentication parameters relate, or what response to expect. An agent would have to infer most context from the parameter names and sibling tool names.

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 input schema has 100% parameter coverage, with each parameter including its own description. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. The baseline of 3 applies because the schema already handles parameter documentation adequately.

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 ('Get') and a specific resource ('route details') tied to a request. It is unambiguous about the operation, though it doesn't explain what 'route details' includes or distinguish it from the many sibling 'get_*' tools like get_request or get_timeline.

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 guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description simply states what it does, with no mention of prerequisites, typical scenarios, or exclusions. An agent must guess when route details are needed instead of the other request-related tools.

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