notifications_waitlist_v1_get

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

With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the HTTP method and OAuth requirement, and points to a guide resource, but does not mention return format, error behavior, or side effects (though as a GET, side effects are unlikely).

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 brief, with the core purpose in the title and requirements in one additional sentence. The reference to 'itad://guide/calling' is useful but slightly redundant, making it efficient but not perfectly minimal.

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?

This is a simple GET with a required id and auth, but no output schema or usage context is provided. The description covers basic requirements and points to a guide, but does not describe the response shape or when to prefer this over sibling notification tools.

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 already provides descriptions for all 5 parameters, including the required id in query and OAuth token environment variables. The description's mention of 'query: id' and oauthToken adds no new parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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 explicitly states '[GET] /notifications/waitlist/v1 - Waitlist notification detail', providing a specific HTTP verb, endpoint, and scope. The required 'query: id' is mentioned, clearly distinguishing this detail-fetch tool from sibling list/update 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?

The description states the required 'query: id' and OAuth token requirement, but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus sibling tools like notifications_list_v1_get or notifications_read_v1_put. There is no explicit when-not or alternative recommendation.

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