GetEnhancementSpot

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

The description explicitly includes '[read-only]', which transparently indicates that the operation does not modify state. Since annotations are absent, this self-disclosure is effective and there are no contradictions or hidden side effects disclosed.

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 that is direct and free of redundancy. It communicates the essential function without unnecessary elaboration.

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?

The description adequately summarizes the expected output ('metadata and list of implementations') for a simple read operation, even without an output schema. It does not mention prerequisites or error cases, but these are not critical given the tool's straightforward nature.

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 sole parameter 'enhancement_spot' is described in the schema as 'Name of the enhancement spot', which is clear but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The description itself does not elaborate on the parameter's context or format, so it does not exceed the baseline for full schema coverage.

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 a specific verb ('Retrieve'), a clear resource ('metadata and list of implementations'), and a target ('specific enhancement spot'), making the purpose immediately obvious. It also differentiates from sibling tools like GetEnhancements and GetEnhancementImpl by focusing on a single spot.

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 does not mention when to use this tool versus alternatives such as GetEnhancements or GetEnhancementImpl. There is no explicit guidance on selection criteria or when to prefer this tool over related ones.

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