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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains that the example is for deploy hooks and where the finalized file should reside, adding useful context. However, it does not explicitly confirm read-only behavior or describe any caveats, though the read-only nature is apparent from the verb 'gets'.

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 two concise sentences with no filler. It front-loads the primary purpose and then adds the key deployment context, earning a top score for efficiency.

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 no-parameter example-fetching tool, the description is sufficiently complete. It states the purpose, the target context (deploy hooks), and the expected file location, while the presence of an output schema covers return value expectations. Minor gap: no mention of when not to use it, but that overlaps with usage guidelines.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the schema fully covers all input semantics. The description correctly avoids repeating non-existent parameter details. Baseline 4 is appropriate since there are no parameter ambiguities to clarify.

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 tool retrieves an example aptible.yml configuration file specifically for deploy hooks. This distinguishes it from sibling examples like getProcfileExample or getEndpointProvisionExample, and includes the exact final file location.

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 context by mentioning deploy hooks, but does not explicitly say when to choose this tool over other example-getting siblings. No alternatives or exclusions are stated, leaving the usage guidance implicit rather than explicit.

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