get_app_store_version

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

There are no annotations, so the description must communicate the operation's behavior. 'Fetch' signals a read operation, which is useful, but it does not disclose failure modes, authorization requirements, or other behavioral details. The description is not misleading, just light on context.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It states the action, the resource, and a meaningful included attribute, which is appropriately sized for a one-parameter fetch tool.

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 one-parameter read operation with an output schema available, the description is nearly sufficient. It does not explain where version_id originates, but the low complexity and strong sibling naming make that omission minor.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate for the parameter, but it only loosely ties version_id to 'one App Store version'. The schema title 'Version Id' already conveys the core meaning, so the description adds modest but not substantial value.

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 uses a specific verb, 'Fetch', with a concrete resource, 'one App Store version's full attributes', and highlights a distinguishing attribute, appStoreState. This clearly separates it from list_app_store_versions and create_app_store_version.

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 the tool for retrieving a single version's full data rather than listing all versions, but it never explicitly contrasts with list_app_store_versions or states when to prefer this over that sibling. The usage guidance is implied rather than explicit.

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