Get Comments for Paragraph

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already declares the tool as read-only (safe). The description adds 'Extract', confirming this behavior, but does not disclose additional traits like handling of non-existent paragraphs or empty results. Annotations cover the safety aspect, so the description adds minimal extra transparency.

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 of 11 words, concise and free of filler. It front-loads the key action and resource, earning its place with no wasted text.

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 tool has 2 parameters and no output schema, yet the description does not explain the output format or behavior for edge cases (e.g., missing paragraph, no comments). Given the lack of schema details, more contextual information is needed for an agent to use the tool correctly.

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 has 0% description coverage, and the description does not compensate by explaining the parameters. The term 'specific paragraph' loosely hints at paragraph_index, but no details on valid values (e.g., 0-based indexing) or filename requirements are provided. The description fails to add meaning 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 clearly states the verb 'Extract' and the resource 'comments for a specific paragraph in a Word document'. It effectively distinguishes this tool from its siblings like get_all_comments and get_comments_by_author by specifying the scope ('for a specific paragraph').

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 usage for extracting comments for one paragraph, contrasting with broader tools, but does not explicitly state when to use it or when not to use alternatives. No direct mention of preferred contexts or exclusions.

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