get_views

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only says 'Get rendered views' and does not explain what 'views' includes, whether authentication is needed, whether the operation is read-only, or what happens when no views exist. This is a meaningful transparency gap for a tool with no annotation support.

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 concise sentence with no wasted words and the core action is front-loaded. However, it is so brief that it borders on under-specification, missing useful context that would not bloat the description if added.

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 no annotations and no output schema, the description is the only source of behavioral and contextual information, yet it omits when to use the tool, how results are returned, whether setup is required, and how this relates to the broader Clockwork workflow. It is not complete enough for an agent to invoke it confidently in context.

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%, so every parameter including requestId, token, baseUrl, password, and username is already described in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the schema, which fits the baseline of 3 for full coverage.

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 and resource: 'Get rendered views' for a request. It is distinct enough to convey the core function, but it does not explicitly distinguish get_views from the many sibling tools that also retrieve request-related data, such as 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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives, whether a prior connection or authentication is required, or whether it should be called after a request is selected. The agent is left to infer usage entirely from the terse description and schema.

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