planka_get_labels

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'fast targeted refresh' but does not disclose what happens if the board is not found, whether the operation is read-only, or any rate limits or authentication requirements. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the schema.

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 unnecessary words or fluff. It efficiently communicates the core purpose and a key benefit.

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?

Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not describe the return format (e.g., a list of labels or objects), what happens on error, or any state changes. The single parameter and simple functionality are not fully covered, leaving important gaps for an AI agent.

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 schema description coverage is reported as 0%, meaning the description must compensate. However, the description does not mention the board_id parameter or provide any additional meaning beyond the schema's basic definition. It does not explain where to find the board ID or how it relates to the refresh behavior.

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 'all labels on a board', and adds a performance benefit (fast targeted refresh) that distinguishes it from sibling tools that create, update, or delete labels. This provides a specific and distinct purpose.

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 when to use this tool ('fast targeted refresh without full workspace re-fetch'), suggesting efficiency for label retrieval without re-fetching the entire workspace. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternatives like planka_get_workspace.

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