at_get_text

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieves the full text of an Austrian act from a RIS content URL, with optional ELI URI and citation for reference.

Instructions

Fetch the full text of an act from a RIS content URL.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eli_uriNothe hit's ELI URL, passed through so the text stays citable.
content_urlYesan absolute ris.bka.gv.at URL from a search hit's ``content_urls`` (``.html`` or ``.xml``).
human_readable_citationNothe hit's citation, passed through.

Output Schema

byte_sizeNo
source_urlYes
content_typeNo
dataset_noteNoThis connector exposes Austrian federal law (Bundesrecht, via at_search) and case law (Judikatur, via at_case_search). State law (Landesrecht) is not yet covered.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds that it fetches text from a specific URL, which is consistent with annotations. It does not disclose additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations and schema provide.

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?

The description is a single, direct sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently communicates the tool's primary function.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema, the description need not explain return values. The description is short but covers the essential action. However, it could mention that the content_url must originate from a search hit's content_urls, which is already in the parameter description, so it is complete enough.

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% and each parameter has a description. The tool description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it mentions 'RIS content URL' which is already described in the content_url parameter. No added value for parameter semantics.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action (Fetch), resource (full text of an act), and source (RIS content URL). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like at_get_case_text, though the distinction is implicit in the resource type (act vs case).

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. Sibling tools are listed in context, but the description itself offers no such differentiation.

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