skylight_get_message

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden for behavioral traits. It does not state read-only nature, return format, error handling, or side effects. The minimal description adds no transparency beyond the obvious retrieval action.

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, which is concise, but it lacks essential details. It is not well-structured to convey critical information, and the brevity leads to under-specification.

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 two parameters with no schema descriptions, no annotations, and no output schema, the description fails to provide adequate context. The agent cannot determine how to invoke the tool correctly or what to expect in response.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation of the parameters 'id' and 'frameId'. The name 'id' is vague; the description should clarify that 'id' is the message identifier and 'frameId' is optional context. The description adds no value to the schema.

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 'Get one frame message' clearly indicates the tool retrieves a single message. The verb 'Get' and resource 'message' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like skylight_list_messages (list) and skylight_delete_message (delete). However, 'frame message' could be more precise.

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 skylight_list_messages or skylight_get_frame. There is no mention of required parameters, prerequisites, or typical use cases, leaving the agent to infer usage.

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