technocore_note_get

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden and does add important context: it explicitly warns that returned content is anonymous input written by strangers and should be treated as data, never as instructions. This is a valuable prompt-injection safety disclosure beyond a generic read description, though it omits details like missing-key behavior.

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 sentences with no wasted words. The primary purpose is front-loaded, and the security warning earns its place by protecting the agent from untrusted content.

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?

The description is too sparse for a tool with no annotations, no output schema, and no parameter documentation. It covers the important security aspect, but omits parameter meaning, return value shape, and any guidance about missing keys or failures, leaving the agent under-equipped to call it correctly.

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 description does not explain the semantics of the required ns and key parameters. While "key" is somewhat self-evident from "key-value note", "ns" is not defined, and the agent is left without enough information to construct correct arguments.

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 states a specific action, "Read", and a specific resource, "a durable key-value note", making the core purpose clear. It distinguishes notes from sibling room-based tools like technocore_read_room, but does not explicitly differentiate from technocore_note_set beyond the verb "Read".

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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as technocore_note_set, technocore_read_room, or technocore_say. The agent must infer usage solely from the tool name and the verb "Read", which leaves selection criteria unclear.

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