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

The annotations already convey that this is a read-only, idempotent, non-destructive operation. The description adds no further behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication requirements, or specific return characteristics. It is consistent with the annotations but does not enrich beyond them.

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, directly front-loaded with the core action and resource, and contains no superfluous wording. It is appropriately concise for a simple get-by-ID tool.

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?

For a straightforward single-ID retrieval tool with no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: it names the resource and the input key. While it does not detail the return format or specific fields, the annotations confirm safety, and the simplicity of the tool means this is reasonably complete.

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 provides a complete description for the 'id' parameter (unique numeric identifier). The description's phrase 'par son ID' merely reiterates the schema's meaning without adding extra detail. Since schema coverage is 100%, the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 action: 'Récupère les informations détaillées d'un(e) drapeau par son ID' (retrieves detailed information of a flag by its ID). It specifies the resource (drapeau/flag), the verb (récupère), and the scope (by ID), distinguishing it from the sibling search tool (boond_flags_search) and other get tools.

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 flag ID and need its details, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like boond_flags_search. No exclusions or contextual guidance is provided, so it falls at the 'implied usage' level rather than clear context.

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