builds__pre_release_version__get

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'Read' which aligns with annotations, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or specific response expectations. 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 plus an endpoint reference, with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, making it highly concise and efficient.

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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, simple relationship read) and existing annotations, the description is minimally adequate. It does not explain the return format or relationship semantics, but for a straightforward endpoint with no output schema, this is acceptable.

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 the parameter 'id' described as 'Resource identifier.' The description does not add any additional meaning or format details beyond the schema, so it meets baseline but adds no extra value.

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 clearly states the verb 'Read' and the resource 'pre release version for a build', distinguishing it from sibling tools like builds__get (gets the build) and pre_release_versions__get (gets a pre-release version by ID). The endpoint path reinforces the purpose.

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 a build ID and need its pre-release version, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions or prerequisites. The sibling list offers context but no direct guidance.

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