get_content_by_path

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

The description provides no behavioral details beyond the basic operation. It does not mention whether the operation is a read, if it requires special permissions, or what the output looks like. With no annotations, this is a critical gap.

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 under-specified. While it is short, it sacrifices essential information for brevity. A concise description would include key details without being verbose, but this lacks substance.

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 simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema), the description fails to provide a complete picture. It does not explain the return format, behavior for missing paths, or any other contextual information needed for correct use.

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 description adds no meaning to the 'path' parameter beyond what the schema provides. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description merely repeats 'by path', which is already in the tool name. No parameter constraints, example values, or format hints are given.

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 it gets library content by path, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_collector or get_folder, which might also retrieve content by path.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description only states what it does, not the context or prerequisites. Without annotations, the agent has no hints about when to invoke this tool over others.

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