get_organization

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states it returns a JSON string with organization details, but doesn't disclose behavior like whether it returns null/error for missing IDs, whether it requires authentication, or any rate limits. For a read operation, the lack of annotations makes this a notable gap.

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 compact and front-loaded with the core purpose. The Args/Returns structure is clear and wastes no words, though the Returns line is somewhat redundant with the output schema.

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 single-parameter read tool with an output schema, the description is mostly complete. However, with no annotations and no mention of error behavior or authentication, an agent might not know how to handle a missing or invalid ID. The output schema covers return structure, so that gap is acceptable.

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 description coverage is 0%, but the description explicitly documents the parameter 'organization_id: The IT Glue organization ID', adding meaning beyond the bare schema property. It doesn't add format details (e.g., integer range), but for a single simple parameter this is adequate.

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 ('a specific organization by ID'), which clearly distinguishes it from list_organizations and search_organizations. It doesn't explicitly name the sibling alternatives, but the resource and ID-based lookup are clear enough.

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 implies this is for fetching a single organization by ID, which is a clear context. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this versus list_organizations or search_organizations, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites.

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