apple_get_review_submission

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. 'Inspect' implies a read-only, non-mutating call and it discloses partial output content (submission plus all item IDs), but it omits any statement of permissions, pagination, or whether the submission is locked/editable. Adequate but with clear gaps for a zero-annotation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero waste; the core action leads and the usage trigger follows. It stays efficient while covering purpose and timing.

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

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

For a three-parameter get tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description lacks parameter semantics (appId, submissionId, platform) and does not describe what a submission object contains. It covers purpose and timing but is incomplete given the surrounding schema gaps.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0% across all three parameters, so the description must compensate for undefined appId, submissionId, and platform (which has an IOS/MAC_OS/TV_OS/VISION_OS enum and a default). The description says nothing about any parameter's meaning or the platform effect, leaving the schema gaps unaddressed.

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

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

States a specific verb (Inspect) and resource (review submission plus all item IDs), making clear it is a read/inspection operation. It doesn't explicitly name sibling tools like apple_list_review_submissions or apple_get_asset to differentiate scope, so it stops short of a 5.

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

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

The clause 'before adding an asset/custom page/test or explicitly submitting it' gives clear sequencing context that maps to siblings like apple_add_review_submission_item and apple_submit_review_submission. It offers no explicit exclusions or negative guidance, so it is a strong 4 rather than a 5.

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