Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral transparency. It conveys that the operation is a read/fetch ('Obtiene') and lists the returned data, but it does not explicitly state side-effect-free behavior, authorization requirements, or error conditions. It is adequate but not rich.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, focused sentence that front-loads the purpose and includes the key input detail (ID). No redundant words or filler.

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 fetch tool with no output schema, the description is sufficiently complete: it names the resource, what data is returned, and the identifier needed. It does not give every possible response detail, but that is not necessary for this low-complexity tool.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage by describing 'designId' as 'El ID del diseño de Canva' The description adds little beyond 'por su ID', so the baseline of 3 applies.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states a specific verb ('Obtiene') and resource ('detalles, miniaturas y enlaces de edición/visualización de un diseño') with a precise lookup mechanism ('por su ID'). It is easily distinguishable from siblings like canva_list_designs, which lists designs rather than fetching one.

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 description implies this tool is used when you need a single design's details, thumbnails, or edit/view links by ID. It does not explicitly say when to prefer it over alternatives such as canva_list_designs or canva_export_design, nor does it mention any exclusions.

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