app_store_version_localizations__get

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, clearly indicating a safe read operation. The description adds the HTTP method GET but does not elaborate on other behaviors like error handling or rate limits. No contradiction with 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?

The description is a single sentence front-loaded with the verb 'Read', followed by the resource and identifier. The HTTP path is provided in brackets for extra clarity. No wasted words.

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 clear annotations and schema, the description is nearly complete. It could mention that the tool returns the localization object or its attributes, but the name and context from siblings make this sufficient for an agent.

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 description coverage is 100%; both 'id' and 'include' have clear schema descriptions. The description mentions 'by ID' reinforcing the required parameter but adds no new semantic information beyond the schema.

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 states 'Read one App Store version localization by ID', which includes a specific verb ('Read'), the resource ('App Store version localization'), and the identifier method ('by ID'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like create, delete, update, and list operations.

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 usage when you have an ID to read a specific localization, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., listing all localizations) or provide any exclusion criteria.

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