get_event

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. It only states the basic retrieval function but fails to mention any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or error handling (e.g., what happens if event_id does not exist).

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, which is concise, but it lacks structure and may be too minimal for a tool with no annotations. It is not padded with unnecessary text, but it could be more informative.

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 that no annotations are provided and schema coverage is 0%, the description is incomplete for a simple get-by-ID tool. It does not mention the output structure or typical response, even though an output schema exists. It also lacks error handling or edge case information.

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 schema has 1 parameter (event_id) with 0% description coverage. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the parameter name, such as format, range, or uniqueness constraints. For a tool with no schema descriptions, the description should compensate but does not.

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 tool's purpose: 'Get a specific event/log entry by ID.' It specifies the verb 'Get' and the resource 'event/log entry', and distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'list_events' which retrieves all events.

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 like 'list_events' or 'get_update'. It does not mention any prerequisites or context for appropriate usage.

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