sg_get_full_text

Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch the full text of a Singapore act by providing its short act code. Large acts may be truncated.

Instructions

Fetch the full text of an act. Large acts are truncated.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
act_codeYesSSO's short act code, e.g. ``"CoA1967"`` (Companies Act 1967).

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNo
contentNo
eli_uriNo
act_codeYes
eli_noteNoSingapore has not deployed ELI. eli_uri is the durable SSO act URL (https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/{act_code}), keyed on SSO's own short act code - never invented.
byte_sizeNo
truncatedNo
source_urlNo
dataset_noteNoSingapore Statutes Online (SSO, sso.agc.gov.sg) is the Attorney-General's Chambers' official portal for Singapore legislation. Singapore has no ELI scheme; eli_uri carries the durable SSO act URL (see eli_note). Discover with sg_list_acts (browse, paginated - SSO's robots.txt disallows /search, so this connector never queries it), then fetch a specific provision or the full text by act_code.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior. The description adds an important behavioral warning: 'Large acts are truncated.' This goes beyond annotations and is critical for agent expectations.

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 extremely concise—two short sentences—with no wasted words. It front-loads the core action and adds a critical caveat. Perfect size for its simplicity.

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?

Given the tool's low complexity (1 required param, output schema exists), the description covers all necessary context: what it fetches, the truncation behavior, and the parameter. No gaps remain.

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% with a clear description for act_code. The tool description does not add further parameter meaning beyond 'act code.' Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema already handles parameter documentation.

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Fetch' and the resource 'full text of an act'. It also distinguishes from siblings: sg_get_provision retrieves a specific provision, and sg_list_acts lists acts, while this tool gets the entire act text.

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. It does not mention situations where sg_get_provision might be more appropriate for shorter excerpts, nor any prerequisites or context.

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