get_profile

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

No annotations provided, and the description omits any behavioral details such as read-only nature, rate limits, or side effects. The simplicity of the tool somewhat mitigates this, but it still lacks transparency.

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 concise sentence that lists output fields, making it easy to parse. However, it could include a bit more context without becoming verbose.

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?

Despite no output schema, the description adequately explains the return fields. For a simple profile retrieval, this is sufficient, though broader context (e.g., typical use cases) is missing.

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 zero parameters, and the description is not required to elaborate on parameters. Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline contribution is met.

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 clearly states it retrieves Aniket's profile with specific fields (name, role, location, summary, links). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_contact, which may overlap in content.

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description only lists output fields, leaving the agent without context on appropriate usage scenarios.

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