get_ikea_furniture

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

The description correctly indicates a read operation (returns data) and lists what is returned, but with no annotations, it does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the basic functionality. No mention of permissions, rate limits, or error behavior.

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, clear sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's primary function. No unnecessary words.

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 the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essentials but lacks context on error handling (e.g., missing asset_id) and does not hint at any limitations or edge cases.

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 0% description coverage and the description does not explain the 'asset_id' parameter, its format, or provide examples. The parameter's semantics are entirely left to inference from its name.

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 returns specific attributes (dimensions, provenance, availability) for a single IKEA furniture asset. It distinguishes from siblings like list_ikea_furniture (which lists multiple) and search_ikea_furniture (which searches).

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 the tool is for retrieving a single asset by ID, but it does not explicitly state when to use this over siblings (e.g., list for browsing, search for filtering). No conditions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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