v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only operation via 'Get' but does not explicitly state that it's non-destructive, whether authentication is required, or whether the returned URL is time-limited or session-specific. No error behavior or side effects are mentioned.
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 short phrase, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it is under-specified and lacks structure or additional context. While brevity is good, the sentence does not fully earn its place because it omits critical details like return format or usage 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?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and a single parameter without schema documentation, the description is inadequate. An agent cannot fully understand what the download URL looks like, whether it's a direct link or requires further action, or how the id should be formatted. The tool is simple but still lacks enough context for reliable invocation.
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 a single required 'id' with no description (0% coverage). The description implies 'id' refers to the document ID but does not clarify what kind of document or how to obtain the ID. It adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema, leaving the parameter meaning largely inferred from the tool name.
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 action — 'Get document download URL' — with a clear verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like boond_documents_get (which likely retrieves metadata) and boond_documents_search (search) by focusing on the download URL. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with these siblings, so it's not a perfect 5.
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 like boond_documents_get or boond_documents_search. There's no mention of prerequisites, such as having a document ID from a prior search, or when a download URL is needed. The description simply states what it does, not the context for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
