B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations already establish that this is a read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world operation. The description adds no behavioral context beyond a basic retrieval statement, such as not-found behavior, permissions, or external-service considerations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is brief and front-loads the operation and lookup key. However, the Args block redundantly repeats structured schema information rather than adding useful detail.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple one-parameter read with comprehensive annotations and an output schema, this is sufficient to invoke the tool correctly. Explicit routing to the plural identity-list tool and brief error or ID-sourcing context would make it more complete, but these are modest gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the schema fully documents the single required integer ID, so the baseline of 3 applies. The Args section merely repeats 'Identity ID' and adds no format, sourcing, or validation guidance; calling it a number is also less precise than the schema's integer type.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states a specific verb and resource: retrieving one identity by its ID. This implicitly distinguishes it from list and provider-related siblings, but it does not explicitly clarify the identity domain or name those alternatives.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase 'with the given ID' implies that the tool is appropriate when an identity ID is already known. There is no explicit guidance on when to use machship_get_identities instead, how to obtain an ID, or when this lookup is unsuitable.

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