taiga_roles_get

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Get a role by ID' — a read operation — but does not disclose what happens if the role is not found, whether authentication is required, what the return structure looks like, or any error behavior. This is 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 sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the action and directly states the resource and qualifier, achieving maximum clarity per word.

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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and parameter. It could be more complete by mentioning the return type or error cases, but for a basic get-by-ID operation, it is adequate. The lack of annotations is partly compensated by the simplicity of the 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 has 100% coverage with the parameter 'id' described as 'Role ID'. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond 'by ID', so the schema does the heavy lifting. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 role by ID' uses a specific verb ('Get'), identifies the resource ('role'), and specifies the scope ('by ID'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like taiga_roles_list, taiga_roles_update, and taiga_roles_delete.

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?

Usage is implied: the tool is used when you have a role ID and want to fetch the role. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusion conditions. A simple getter like this gains context from its name, but the description offers no added direction.

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