redmine_get_time_entry

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

Description assumes full burden due to no annotations. It only states '[Stable]' and 'Get details', which implies a read operation but does not disclose response structure, error handling, rate limits, or authentication needs.

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?

Single sentence of 11 words, front-loaded with stability indicator. Every word is necessary; no redundancy.

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 1 parameter, the description lacks information on return values, error scenarios, or request formatting beyond ID. Incomplete for a tool without supplementary structured fields.

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 1 required parameter 'id' with type integer, exclusiveMinimum 0. Description provides no additional meaning or usage context for the parameter, leaving it fully to the schema. Schema coverage is 0%.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Get details', resource 'single time entry', and identifier type 'numeric ID'. Differentiates from sibling tools like redmine_log_time (create), redmine_delete_time_entry (delete), and redmine_list_time_entries (list).

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?

Description implies use when a numeric ID is available to retrieve details, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives. No mention of prerequisites or context for selection.

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