get_submission_standard_pdf

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

Describes output format (base64 bytes) but lacks details on size limits, error conditions, or side effects. No annotations provided to augment.

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 two-sentence description with an args list; no redundant information. Efficiently structured.

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?

With an output schema and a simple download action, the description covers core function and output format. However, lacks usage context and behavioral details that would improve completeness.

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 0% description coverage; the description restates 'identifier of the Submission' which adds minimal meaning beyond the schema's type and title.

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 states it downloads the Standard Report PDF as base64. Distinguishes from 'get_submission_default_pdf' and 'get_submission_report_pdf' by specifying 'Standard Report', though not explicitly contrasted.

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 over siblings like 'get_submission_default_pdf' or prerequisites such as submission existence or permissions.

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