Get a release landing-page config

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, consistent with 'Retrieve'. Description adds detailed behavioral context by listing exactly which aspects of the configuration are returned. No contradictions, and no side effects expected.

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 sentences: first defines the tool's function, second provides sibling pairing. Neither sentence is wasted; information is front-loaded and minimal.

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, the description lists the key returned elements (enabled, style/mode, custom copy, action list, pre-order links). However, it does not specify the response structure (e.g., a single object) or whether all fields are always present. Adequate for a simple get operation, but could be slightly more explicit.

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?

The input schema has one parameter (release_id) with schema description coverage at 0% (no description in schema). The tool description does not mention this parameter or explain its role. It lists response content but not input semantics, failing to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.

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 clearly states it retrieves the smart-link landing-page configuration for a release, enumerates the returned aspects (enabled, style/mode, custom copy, etc.), and explicitly distinguishes the sibling tool update_landing_config for changes.

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?

Provides explicit pairing advice ('Pair with update_landing_config to change it.'), indicating this is for retrieval while the sibling is for modification. No exclusions or additional context given, but clear enough for basic usage.

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