boond_apps_get

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only restates the operation as a read/get without mentioning side effects, error behavior, authentication requirements, rate limits, or return format. Minimal value beyond the tool name itself.

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 phrase with zero wasted words. Every word ('Get', 'an app', 'by ID') earns its place and directly conveys the core operation.

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 one-parameter getter with no output schema, the description covers the essential invocation correctly. However, it lacks any context on what an 'app' is, how the ID is obtained, what the response contains, or when to choose this over other retrieval tools. Adequate for the simplest case but with clear gaps.

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?

Schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate for the lone 'id' parameter. Saying 'by ID' provides only a weak link between the parameter and its role as an app identifier, but no format, source, or validation details are given beyond the schema's minLength constraint.

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 ('an app'), with the parameter scope 'by ID'. It clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings like boond_apps_search, boond_apps_install, and boond_apps_uninstall without needing to open schemas.

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 given on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools, particularly boond_apps_search. The agent is left to infer that 'get by ID' is for retrieving a single known app, while search is for finding apps, but the description does not state this.

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