get_batch_webhook

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, so the read-only nature is clear. The description adds value by disclosing the return structure (JSON with id, url, enabled) and behavior on invalid ID (returns error). This is beyond what annotations provide.

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 concise, well-structured, and front-loaded with the main purpose. It uses bullet-like sections (Args, Returns) to organize information efficiently. Every sentence adds value.

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's simplicity and the existence of an output schema, the description covers most necessary context: purpose, usage, required parameter sourcing, return format, and error behavior. The only gap is the undocumented 'account' parameter, which slightly reduces 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It partially explains 'batch_webhook_id' (obtain from list_batch_webhooks) but omits explanation of the 'account' parameter, which is optional. The missing parameter leaves the agent without guidance on its purpose.

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 clearly states the verb 'Retrieve' and the resource 'details of a single batch webhook.' It specifies what the tool does (inspect target URL and enabled state) and distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'list_batch_webhooks' which browses all webhooks.

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 explicitly tells when to use this tool (inspect a specific webhook) and when to use the alternative 'list_batch_webhooks' (browse all and discover IDs). It also states how to obtain the required ID.

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