br_get_norma_index

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the hierarchical structure of a Brazilian legal norm (Norma Juridica) by its URN Lex, listing parts, books, titles, chapters, sections, and articles in document order.

Instructions

List the addressable structure of a Norma Juridica: parts, books, titles, chapters, sections, and articles, in document order.

Use this to find the dispositivo suffix for the article you need (e.g. "art5"), then pass it to br_get_norma_texto - do not guess a suffix.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. Description adds that structure is returned 'in document order' and that output contains a suffix. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences, first sentence states purpose and output, second gives usage guidance. No wasted words, front-loaded with key information.

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?

Output schema exists so return values not needed. Description covers purpose, usage flow with sibling, and document order. Adequate for a single-parameter tool with rich annotations.

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 covers 100% with clear description of the urn parameter. Description does not add extra meaning 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 verb 'List' and resource 'addressable structure of a Norma Juridica', enumerating parts like parts, books, titles, etc. It distinguishes from siblings like br_get_norma and br_get_norma_texto.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly tells when to use: find the 'dispositivo' suffix for an article, then pass to br_get_norma_texto. Includes negative instruction 'do not guess a suffix' and a concrete example.

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