dol_osha_accident_injuries

Read-only

Retrieve demographics, injury nature, body part, source, and degree of injury from OSHA accident investigations. Filter by accident summary number or injury degree.

Instructions

Get injury details from OSHA accident investigations. Returns demographics (age, sex), nature of injury, body part, source, degree of injury. Degree of injury: 1=Fatality, 2=Hospitalized, 3=Non-hospitalized. Link to accidents via summary_nr.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. Description adds return field details and degree mapping, but does not discuss pagination behavior, error handling, or authentication. Adequate but not rich beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, no redundancy, purpose in first sentence. Every sentence adds value. Very concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite no output schema, description lists return fields and degree mapping. Covers essential info for using the tool. Could mention pagination defaults or ordering, but overall sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with parameter descriptions. Description repeats degree mapping and linking, adding no new semantics beyond schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it retrieves injury details from OSHA accident investigations, specifies return fields (demographics, nature of injury, etc.), and mentions linking via summary_nr. This differentiates it from sibling tools like dol_osha_accidents and dol_osha_violations.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives. No mentions of prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative advantages. The description only implies usage when summary_nr is available from accident data.

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