v0.3.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world, non-destructive, so the bar is lower; the description still adds real context the annotations cannot: a 15 MiB size cap and the warning that document text is untrusted data (a prompt-injection caution). It doesn't describe failure modes when a page is out of range or the document is not a PDF, which is the main remaining gap.
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?
Four short clauses, each carrying distinct information: scope, output type, the as_image rule with page numbering, the size limit, and the untrusted-data warning. Zero filler and the core action is front-loaded.
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?
With no output schema, the description does supply what the call returns (page text or image), plus size limit, paging base and a safety caveat. Only the boundary behavior — invalid page, non-scanned image PDFs, auth scope for company_slug — is unaddressed.
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 does explain page semantics (starts at 1) and as_image (scanned PDFs), covering two of four params, but company_slug and document_id are left entirely to their names.
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?
States a specific verb and resource: read one page from an inbox document (innboksbilag), and clarifies the output is PDF text or an image. That distinguishes it from list-level siblings, though it never explicitly contrasts with fiken_get_inbox_document, which sounds adjacent.
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?
Gives one concrete usage rule: use as_image for scanned PDFs, and notes page numbering is 1-based. It offers no guidance on when to pick this tool over fiken_get_inbox_document or the attachment-reader siblings, so selection between close alternatives is left to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
