get_study_doi_details

Retrieve DOIs for a study: publication, dataset, and award DOIs. Provide a study ID to get complete DOI details.

Instructions

Use this tool to get detailed DOI information for a study, including publication DOIs, dataset DOIs, and award DOIs.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond the purpose. It does not state that it's read-only, error behavior, or any constraints. The description carries the full burden but fails to add transparency.

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?

One concise sentence that front-loads the action. No redundant or unnecessary information.

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 simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema), the description reasonably covers the output by listing included DOIs. Lacks mention of output structure but sufficient for a straightforward lookup.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The single parameter 'study_id' is not explained in the description; format, constraints, or examples are missing. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but does not.

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?

Description clearly states it gets detailed DOI information for a study, specifying three types (publication, dataset, award). It identifies the resource and output, but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'search_studies_by_doi_criteria'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no when-not or prerequisites mentioned. Only a basic instruction to use it.

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