get_view

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered structurally. The description adds nothing beyond the endpoint path — no note on permissions required, error behavior for missing project/view, or what a "view" contains.

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?

Two short sentences, no filler, with the resource statement front-loaded. The brevity is efficient even though the content is thin.

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 read tool this could be adequate, but with no output schema the description should at least hint at what a retrieved view returns (template associations, positions, etc.) and how to obtain the view_id. Neither is provided.

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% for both required integer parameters. The endpoint template implicitly maps project_id and view_id to their roles in the path, which is the only semantic help offered; there is no indication of id source (e.g., from list_views) or whether a view_id is globally unique or project-scoped.

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?

"Get view" is essentially a restatement of the tool name; the only added information is the HTTP path, which implies the resource is nested under a project. It does not distinguish the tool from close siblings like list_views, get_workflow, or get_template beyond the resource noun.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus list_views (to find a view id) or get_project. No prerequisites, exclusions, or alternative paths are stated.

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