Get Households Mealplans By Item

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Get One' only hints at a read operation and offers no detail about required context, error behavior, auth expectations, or response semantics. It adds essentially no behavioral transparency beyond the tool's name.

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 extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It contains no useful front-loaded information beyond a generic verb and object count.

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?

Even though an output schema exists, the description is far too incomplete for an agent to call this tool reliably. It does not state what is being retrieved, when to use it, or anything about the item_id parameter. This is a placeholder-level description that is inadequate for a real API endpoint.

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 has 0% description coverage, and the description 'Get One' does nothing to explain item_id or accept-language. An agent cannot infer what item_id refers to, what format is expected, or how accept-language affects the response.

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 'Get One' conveys a singular retrieval operation, which weakly distinguishes it from the sibling list_households_mealplans. However, it never names the resource (household mealplans), so it is essentially a tautological restatement of 'get by item' rather than a clear statement of what the tool does.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that this is for fetching a single mealplan by ID, nor does it contrast with list_households_mealplans or related mealplan endpoints.

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