fetch_record

Idempotent

Retrieve a specific record by its exact ID to get its title, owner, amount, and tags.

Instructions

Fetch one record by its exact id. Returns the record's title, owner, amount and tags.

Tool call template

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds value by disclosing that the response includes title, owner, amount, and tags, which is beyond structured annotations and helps the agent set expectations for the returned data.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence that states the operation and its result with no filler. Every word contributes meaning, and the structure is easy to parse quickly.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple one-parameter read operation, the description is complete: it names the input, explains the match criterion, and lists the returned fields. The output schema is absent, but the description explicitly fills that gap. Sibling distinctions are evident through the 'exact id' wording, and the annotations cover behavioral safety.

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 description coverage is 100%, with record_id already documented as an exact record id with an example. The description merely reinforces the schema rather than adding new semantic detail. Baseline of 3 is appropriate because the schema carries the parameter meaning and the description adds minimal extra value.

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?

States a specific verb ('Fetch'), a resource ('one record'), and the lookup key ('exact id'), which clearly differentiates it from the sibling search_records. The added return-field list further clarifies the tool's scope. This is a precise, unambiguous definition.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The phrase 'by its exact id' implies the proper context: when the caller already knows the precise identifier. It does not explicitly name alternatives like search_records for fuzzy or filtered lookup, but the context is clear enough for an agent to select this tool over the siblings.

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