get_milestone

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description 'Retrieve full details' is consistent but adds no additional behavioral context such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or what exactly is returned beyond 'content and metadata'. No added value over annotations.

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?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the action. No wasted words; every sentence serves a purpose. Ideal length for quick comprehension.

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 tool has 2 required params and no output schema. The description states it retrieves 'full details' and 'content and metadata', but does not specify the return format or list possible fields. While simple, additional context about what is returned would improve completeness.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions 'a string that will be trimmed' for both parameters. The description does not add any extra meaning about the parameters (e.g., how to obtain their values or what they represent). Baseline 3 is appropriate since schema already covers them.

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?

Description clearly states 'Retrieve full details for a Huly milestone', specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_milestone, update_milestone, and list_milestones by focusing on retrieval of a single milestone's details.

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 says 'Use this to view milestone content and metadata', implying when to use. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives like list_milestones for listing or search, nor when not to use this tool. Guidance is present but minimal.

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