taiga_points_get

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Get' which implies a read-only operation, but it does not describe return format, error behavior, permissions, or side effects. This adds little beyond what the tool name already conveys.

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, front-loaded and free of unnecessary words. However, the grammatical error 'a points' slightly harms clarity, and the brevity is close to under-specification for a tool with no other context.

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?

This is a very simple tool with one parameter and no output schema. The description is minimally viable for triggering a get-by-ID operation, but it omits information about the returned point object, possible errors, and the meaning of 'points' in Taiga. Given the low complexity, it is adequate but not complete.

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 one parameter 'id' with a description 'ID', giving 100% schema coverage. The description's phrase 'by ID' matches the schema but adds no new semantic details such as ID type, source, or format, so value is only marginal.

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 'Get a points by ID' clearly identifies the verb (Get), resource (points), and lookup method (by ID), making the primary purpose easy to understand. However, it largely restates the tool name and does not explicitly distinguish it from other getter tools, and the grammar is slightly awkward.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like taiga_points_list or taiga_points_get_by_ref (not present but implied by naming patterns). It lacks any mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions.

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