Retrieve a single carousel by ID, returning the complete carousel including all slide data. Use it to fetch full carousel content for a given carousel ID.
Get a single carousel by id (full slide data included).

v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It reveals that full slide data is included, which is useful, but says nothing about read-only nature, error behavior for missing ids, or pagination/size concerns. For a read tool without annotations this is thin.
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?
A single tight sentence with the resource and the scoping qualifier front-loaded. No waste.
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?
Adequate for a simple by-id read tool with one fully-documented parameter. Missing is any indication of what the return looks like at a high level (beyond 'full slide data') or error semantics, but there is no output schema and the surface area is small.
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 coverage is 100% and the single id parameter is fully documented in the schema with an example format. The description adds no additional parameter meaning, so baseline 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?
States a specific verb (Get) and resource (carousel) with scope qualifier (single, by id). Distinguishable from siblings like list_carousels and update_carousel by the 'single by id' framing, though it never explicitly names those siblings.
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?
Implicit guidance: 'by id' and 'single' signal this is the retrieval tool versus list_carousels. However, no explicit when-to-use vs when-not, no mention of alternatives, and no prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
