get_finding

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Get' implies a read-only operation, but nothing states whether the call requires specific permissions, what happens on a nonexistent ID, or any other behavioral trait. Given an output schema exists, return format need not be described, but the description adds no behavioral context at all.

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 two short lines that are front-loaded with the essential purpose. It is efficient and contains no filler, though the 'Args:' block largely restates the schema.

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?

For a simple single-entity getter with an output schema present, the description is minimally adequate: the agent knows what it does and what it needs. But it omits sibling differentiation and any parameter format detail, so it is not fully complete for the surrounding tool landscape.

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% and the single parameter is only restated as 'The finding ID,' which is essentially a tautology of the parameter name finding_id. No format, range, or origin of the ID is supplied to compensate for the schema gap.

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 (Get) and resource (finding) with the singular scope, so the agent knows it retrieves one entity. However, it does not differentiate itself from the many sibling retrieval tools (list_findings, get_finding_duplicates) that also operate on findings.

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?

No when-to-use guidance is given. The description does not clarify when to fetch a single finding versus using list_findings or get_finding_duplicates, leaving the agent to infer the distinction from the name alone.

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