get_hook_detail

Retrieve parameters, return type, query keys, adapter calls, data fetching pattern, and component usage for a custom hook or Vue composable.

Instructions

Get detailed information about a custom hook or Vue composable. Returns parameters, return type, query keys, adapter/service calls, data fetching pattern, and which components use this hook/composable. If the name matches multiple hooks, returns ambiguous with candidates — re-call with file.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description covers the ambiguous response behavior and lists return contents, but does not specify error handling for missing names or other edge cases.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise with three sentences: first states purpose, second lists returns, third covers edge case. No fluff and front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers primary usage and ambiguous disambiguation, lists return contents (compensating for no output schema), but omits behavior when name is not found. Fairly complete for a moderately complex tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema already describes both parameters adequately (100% coverage). The description reinforces the disambiguation use of `file` but does not significantly extend beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves detailed information about a custom hook or Vue composable, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_component_detail by specifying the resource type and listing specific return fields.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains how to handle ambiguous matches by re-calling with `file`, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives or when not to use it.

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