taiga_epic_custom_attributes_get

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The 'Get' verb clearly indicates a read-only operation, but no additional context is given about error handling, permissions, or response format. It is minimal but not misleading for a simple retrieval operation.

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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant information. It earns its place by clearly stating the tool's purpose without any filler or repetition of schema fields.

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 GET operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is sufficient. It conveys the core action and resource, and the parameter is well-documented in the schema. A brief note about the response being the full definition could add value, but it's not essential for this straightforward 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 provides 100% description coverage for the single 'id' parameter ('Custom attribute ID'), so the schema already fully documents the parameter. The description adds no extra semantic detail beyond what the schema states, aligning with the baseline score for high coverage.

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 action ('Get') and the resource ('custom attribute definition for epic'). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like taiga_epic_custom_attributes_list (which lists all) and taiga_epic_custom_attributes_values_get (which retrieves values), making the purpose unambiguous.

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. There is no mention of when to prefer this over the list or values getter, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The description is purely functional and lacks contextual usage direction.

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