get_order

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false. The description adds that the order is an 'imported snapshot', implying the data is a point-in-time copy rather than live, which is useful context beyond the annotations, though no auth or rate-limit details are provided.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words, appropriately sized for a simple read tool. The key operation is stated immediately.

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 param, no output schema), and annotations cover the safety profile, so the thin description is minimally viable. However, with no output schema and 0% schema coverage on the only parameter, the description should say more about the input id and expected return value.

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 single required parameter 'id' has no schema description (0% coverage). The description does not explain what the id represents, its format, or where to obtain it, leaving the only parameter undocumented in both the schema and the description.

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 (Read) and resource (one imported order snapshot), distinguishing it from list_orders by signaling a single-item retrieval. However it does not explicitly contrast with siblings or clarify what 'snapshot' means versus a live order.

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 on when to use this tool versus list_orders, get_chat, or other retrieval siblings. The single-item scope is implied by 'one', but no conditions, prerequisites, or alternatives are stated.

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