get_vendor_store_pickup

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

The description includes the HTTP GET method, implying a read operation, but does not explicitly disclose side effects, authentication requirements, or other behavioral traits. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but doesn't go beyond the method.

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 sentence with no fluff. It is front-loaded and directly states the action and endpoint.

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 get with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate but lacks details on the return value or any error conditions. It doesn't explain what the application object contains.

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 covers the single parameter with a clear description of valid values (711/fme). The description does not add additional semantics beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 it retrieves vendor convenience store pickup application, with the API path providing additional specificity. It distinguishes from list_vendor_store_pickups by singular vs plural, but doesn't explicitly describe the difference.

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 on when to use this tool versus list_vendor_store_pickups or other related tools. Lacks context about appropriate scenarios.

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