radarr_get_tag

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint: true, and the description does not contradict this. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond the read-only nature, but given the simple get-by-id operation, this is acceptable.

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?

One short sentence that is front-loaded and free of extra content. However, 'a single tags' is grammatically incorrect, slightly detracting from an otherwise concise description.

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 with one parameter and an output schema. The description is adequate but does not clarify the difference between this and radarr_get_tag_detail, nor mention error behavior or return specifics, which the output schema likely covers. Overall acceptable.

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 has a single required 'id' integer with no description. The tool description clarifies the parameter is the tag's id, adding minimal semantics. With 0% schema description coverage, it partially compensates.

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 uses a specific verb 'Fetch' and resource 'tags', and clarifies the operation is for a single tag by id. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tool radarr_get_tag_detail, so it doesn't earn a 5.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like radarr_list_tag or radarr_get_tag_detail. The context is only implied, with no explicit usage instructions or exclusions.

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