workiva_get_range_link

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It only states 'Get a single range link' with no mention that the operation is read-only, no discussion of error conditions, permissions, or whether it returns the link in a specific format. The verb 'get' implies non-mutating behavior, but this is not explicit.

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 short and front-loaded with the purpose, followed by a structured Args list. There is no redundant text; however, it is arguably too sparse to provide substantive guidance, but conciseness itself is well handled.

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 low complexity and presence of an output schema, the description is minimally sufficient for invoking by ID. But it lacks context about how range links relate to spreadsheets/tables, how to obtain range_link_id, and when to choose this over sibling tools, making it only partially complete.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description is the only source of parameter meaning. It usefully identifies content_id as the spreadsheet UUID and table_id as the table UUID, which goes beyond the bare schema titles. However, range_link_id's description 'The range link ID' simply restates its property name, so the added semantics are uneven.

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 a single range link' clearly identifies the operation and resource. The word 'single' distinguishes it from workiva_list_range_links, though it does not explicitly clarify the distinction from related tools like workiva_get_range_link_destinations or explain what a range link is.

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, such as workiva_list_range_links for discovering range link IDs or workiva_edit_range_link for modifications. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual cues beyond the tool name.

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