get_collection_mitre_tree

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

With no annotations, description must fully convey behavior. It states it retrieves data and returns a dictionary, but omits details on error handling, authorization, performance, or any side effects. Minimal 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?

Concise at two sentences plus structured Args/Return. Purpose is front-loaded. Minor inefficiency: 'Args:' and 'Return:' section could be considered redundant but clear.

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 low complexity and presence of output schema, description explains return format adequately. However, it lacks context on prerequisites (e.g., collection must exist) and potential errors.

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 0%; description only says 'Collection identifiers' for the 'id' parameter, adding little beyond the schema's type and requirement. Does not specify format or example.

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?

Clearly specifies verb 'Retrieves' and resource 'Mitre tactics and techniques associated with a threat'. Distinguishes from siblings like get_collection_report which focus on other attributes.

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 vs alternatives (e.g., get_collection_report, get_collection_feature_matches). Does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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