get_uid

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 mentions the tool 'gets' a UID and the Godot 4.4+ requirement; it does not state whether the operation is read-only, how failures are handled, or what the return value looks like. The verb suggests a read operation, but significant behavioral details are missing.

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, compact sentence with no filler. The core action and target are front-loaded, followed by a useful version qualifier. Every word contributes value.

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 simple two-parameter lookup, the description captures the essential purpose and version requirement. However, with no output schema and no mention of return format or error behavior, an agent is left without complete information about what to expect when invoking the tool.

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 already describes both parameters (projectPath and filePath) with 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning or context about how these parameters should be used, so 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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('UID for a specific file in a Godot project'), making the tool's function unambiguous. It also adds a version qualifier (Godot 4.4+), and while it does not explicitly name sibling tools, the retrieval action distinguishes it clearly from update_project_uids.

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 when to use the tool—when you need a file's UID in a Godot 4.4+ project—but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives such as update_project_uids. The version constraint provides some context, but there is no direct comparison to sibling tools.

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