C2.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and it says nothing about scope (all modules vs. one), pagination, session requirements, or ordering. The only added nuance beyond the name is that the target resource is imported rather than exported functions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is a single short sentence and therefore not bloated, but the '(ii)' fragment reads as unexplained noise rather than useful information. Brevity here comes from under-specification, not disciplined editing.

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

Completeness2/5

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

An output schema exists, so return values need not be described, but with no annotations, no parameter documentation, and no usage context, the definition is too thin for a session-scoped inspection tool. An agent has no basis for choosing it over adjacent function-listing or symbol tools.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The single session_id parameter has 0% schema description coverage and is never mentioned in the description, so an agent gets no explanation of what session it refers to or why it is optional/nullable. Since the schema is silent, the description needed to compensate and does not.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a clear verb and resource ('Get imported functions'), and 'imports' is a distinct concept from the sibling list_functions or get_entrypoint, so an agent can roughly tell what it returns. However, it offers no differentiation from siblings and the '(ii)' shorthand is cryptic, so it stops short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no statement of when to use this versus list_functions, get_symbols, or get_function_info, and no preconditions given (e.g. whether a session must be created first). The agent is left to infer usage entirely from the name.

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