ga_get_property

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, which the description corroborates with 'Get details'. The description adds the 'configured' qualifier, implying a specific pre-set property, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as return format, auth requirements, or side effects. Given the annotation covers the read-only nature, this is adequate but not rich.

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 a single sentence of eight words, immediately front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word contributes to the meaning, with no filler or redundancy. This is exemplary conciseness.

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 zero-parameter, read-only getter, the description sufficiently conveys the tool's purpose and scope. No output schema exists, but the description does not need to detail return values for such a simple tool. Sibling tools are not addressed, but the low complexity means the description is essentially complete.

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 zero parameters, and schema description coverage is 100% (vacuously). No parameter documentation is needed. The description adds no param-specific meaning, but with 0 params, a baseline score of 4 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('details about the configured GA4 property'), clearly indicating the tool retrieves information about a specific property. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like ga_list_properties or ga_get_metadata, so it lacks explicit sibling differentiation.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as ga_list_properties (for listing properties) or ga_get_metadata (for metadata). No context, prerequisites, or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent without clear decision-making support.

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