get_asana_task

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

No annotations provided, so description must cover behavioral traits. It only states 'Get full details' without describing what 'full details' entails, potential rate limits, authentication expectations, or response size. Minimal transparency.

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?

A single sentence that front-loads the purpose; no wasted words. However, it lacks any structure (e.g., paragraphs, examples) that could aid readability.

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 simple get operation with one required parameter, the description is marginally adequate but incomplete. No output schema, no details on response format, and no differentiation from similar tools. The context of many siblings demands more explicit guidance.

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 50% (task_gid described as 'Task GID', api_key not described). Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. The phrase 'full details' does not clarify parameter usage or expected format for task_gid.

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 explicitly states 'Get full details of a single Asana task,' combining a clear verb ('get'), resource ('Asana task'), and specificity ('full details', 'single'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_asana_tasks (multiple tasks) and search_asana_tasks (search-based).

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a task_gid) or scenarios where list or search tools would be more appropriate. The description is purely declarative.

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