get_full_sequence_info

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

With no annotations available, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention that this is a read operation, whether it requires an active sequence, how large the response might be, or any side effects, leaving the agent completely uninformed.

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 extremely short but under-specified. The phrase 'expanded operation' is filler and the sentence merely repeats the tool's name without earning its place, making it an example of under-specification rather than genuine conciseness.

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 tool's name implies a comprehensive response and there is no output schema or annotations, the description should explain what 'full sequence info' includes, the return format, or any operational context. It does none of this, making it inadequate for a potentially complex operation.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed since the schema already defines an empty object.

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 'get full sequence info', which is a clear verb+resource combination indicating the tool retrieves complete sequence information. However, it does not distinguish this from sibling tools like get_sequence_settings or get_sequence_structure, and 'expanded operation' adds no clarifying detail.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only restates the tool's name and offers no context about prerequisites, active sequence requirements, or scenarios where this is preferred.

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