taiga_epic_custom_attributes_values_get

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

With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states what the tool does (gets values) but does not disclose whether it returns values for all custom attributes, how missing values are handled, or any response structure. This is a simple read operation, but the description adds minimal behavioral context.

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 concise sentence that is immediately clear and front-loaded with the key verb and resource. No wasted words.

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 single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It clearly states the purpose and the parameter is fully documented, though it could have mentioned what the returned values look like. Overall, sufficient for the tool's simplicity.

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 schema already documents the sole parameter 'id' as 'epic ID' (100% coverage). The description reinforces this by saying 'for a specific epic' but adds no additional syntax or format details beyond what the schema provides.

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 a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('custom attribute values for a specific epic'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like taiga_epic_custom_attributes_get (which gets attribute definitions) and taiga_epic_custom_attributes_values_update (which updates values).

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 in that it requires an epic ID, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like taiga_epic_custom_attributes_list or taiga_epic_custom_attributes_get. No exclusions or alternative tool names are mentioned.

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