get_meeting_minutes

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

Annotations provide idempotent and read-only hints. The description adds value by noting that the description field is included only when readable, which is a behavioral detail beyond what annotations offer. No contradictions.

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 a single concise sentence that delivers the core purpose and a behavioral nuance, with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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 simplicity (one parameter, annotations present, output schema exists), the description adequately covers purpose and a key behavioral detail. It could mention the return value shape, but the output schema likely fills that gap.

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?

The input schema already documents the parameter fully with description 'a string that will be trimmed'. The tool description merely restates 'by meetingMinutesId', adding no new semantic meaning. With 100% schema coverage, baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool retrieves a single meeting minutes record by ID, using specific verb 'Get' and resource 'meeting notes/transcript record (minutes)'. This distinguishes it from sibling 'list_meeting_minutes' which lists multiple records.

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 implies this tool is for retrieving a specific record when the ID is known, contrasting with listing. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives beyond the sibling name, leaving some inference to the agent.

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