upservice_get_acquaintance_sheet

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive nature. The description adds context that the output is a JSON string with acknowledgement status per employee, which is useful beyond annotations. No contradictions.

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 minimal—two sentences and a parameter line—with no fluff. Every part contributes to understanding the tool's function and input.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the key aspects: purpose, input, and output type. The output description is generic but sufficient given the presence of an output schema.

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 0%, yet the description does not provide any additional meaning beyond what the schema already states (task_id is an integer). It simply reiterates the parameter structure without explaining its context or usage.

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 clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'acquaintance sheet', specifying it is for a task of kind 'acquaintance'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like upservice_get_task or upservice_get_agreement_sheet, which serve different purposes.

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 implies usage is for 'acquaintance' tasks, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it vs. alternatives (e.g., upservice_get_agreement_sheet) or when not to use it. The context of task type is implied but not elaborated.

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