fizzy_get_board

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It states 'Get details' implying a read operation but does not explicitly confirm non-destructiveness, permissions, or the shape of the response. It adds minimal behavioral context beyond the basic 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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant information. Every word contributes to the purpose, and it is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.

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 the tool has only one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally acceptable but lacks detail about the return value structure or error conditions. For a simple get operation, however, it conveys the essential function. Without annotations, more transparency would improve completeness.

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 already describes board_id as 'The ID of the board' with 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description's phrase 'specific Fizzy board' adds little semantic meaning beyond the schema, as it does not explain the format, source, or constraints of board_id.

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 details of a specific Fizzy board' uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('specific Fizzy board'), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like fizzy_list_boards (which lists all boards) and fizzy_get_card (which gets a card). It precisely identifies the tool's function.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that this is for fetching a single board by ID, nor does it exclude cases where list_boards might be more appropriate. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use context is given.

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