get_tcm_suite_by_id

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions 'comprehensive search' but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, rate limits, error handling, or what 'comprehensive' entails (e.g., depth of data returned). This leaves significant gaps for a tool with 5 parameters and no output schema.

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, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and uses an emoji for visual emphasis without adding fluff. Every word earns its place, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain the return format, what 'comprehensive search' includes, or behavioral aspects like safety or performance. For a tool with this complexity, more context is needed to guide effective use.

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 description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying ID-based search, which is already clear from the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting, but the description doesn't compensate with extra context like parameter interactions.

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 states a clear purpose: 'Find TCM suite by ID with comprehensive search' specifies the verb ('Find'), resource ('TCM suite'), and method ('by ID'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_all_tcm_test_case_suites_by_project' (which lists all suites) by focusing on ID-based retrieval, but doesn't explicitly name alternatives or contrast scope beyond the 'comprehensive search' hint.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. The description mentions 'comprehensive search' but doesn't clarify what that entails or differentiate from siblings like 'get_suite_hierarchy' or 'get_root_suites'. Usage context is implied (ID-based lookup) but lacks exclusions or prerequisites.

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