get_task_comments

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

No annotations provided. The description is minimal and does not disclose pagination behavior, data ordering, or any side effects. Parameters like 'start' and 'start_id' hint at pagination but the description omits this.

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?

Single sentence, concise but under-specified. Could include summary of pagination or other key details without becoming verbose.

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 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It lacks essential context like pagination, authentication needs, or return format.

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?

Schema description coverage is 60%, yet the description adds no explanation for parameters like 'custom_task_ids' or 'team_id'. It does not improve understanding beyond the schema.

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 'List comments on a task' clearly specifies the action and resource. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'get_list_comments' or 'get_threaded_comments' by focusing on task-level comments.

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 versus alternatives like get_list_comments or get_threaded_comments. No mention of prerequisites or context.

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