A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds that the tool returns 'full details including matching rules,' providing useful context, but does not disclose error behavior or response format. Adequate given the read-only annotation.

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?

A single concise sentence with no fluff. It front-loads the action and resource, and the 'including matching rules' detail adds value without verbosity.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple getter with one parameter and read-only annotation, the description is mostly complete. It mentions 'full details including matching rules' but does not enumerate the exact fields returned. Since there is no output schema, this gap is noticeable, though the low complexity keeps it from being critical.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must clarify the 'id' parameter. It says 'by ID,' making it clear the parameter is the storage path identifier. However, no additional format, constraints, or examples are provided beyond the schema's type: number. Minimal but sufficient.

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?

States a specific verb 'Get' with resource 'storage path' and identifies it by ID, while noting 'full details including matching rules' which distinguishes it from list_storage_paths. Clear and unambiguous.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus list_storage_paths or other siblings. The description implies single-item retrieval by ID, but does not state alternatives or exclusions, leaving usage to inference.

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