openf1: Get team radio

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

Annotations indicate read-only, open-world, and idempotent behavior. The description adds value by specifying the return type (URLs to audio recordings) and clarifying the nature of the data (driver-engineer communications), which goes beyond what annotations provide.

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?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the action, and every word adds value. No redundancy or wasted information.

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 explains the return type (URLs to audio recordings) and the resource scope (session). It does not explain how to obtain the session_key, but that is likely known from other tools. Overall adequate for a simple retrieval tool.

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 100%, so the data schema accurately describes both parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides (session_key required, driver_number for filtering).

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 the tool retrieves team radio message metadata for a session and returns URLs to audio recordings. It uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'team radio message metadata', distinguishing it from sibling tools like openf1_get_car_data or openf1_get_drivers.

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 usage when needing team radio metadata but does not provide when-not-to-use or alternative tool suggestions. No explicit usage context beyond the basic purpose.

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