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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral context. It doesn't disclose whether this is a read-only operation, what format the documentation is returned in (e.g., HTML, JSON, plain text), potential rate limits, authentication requirements, or error conditions. The description is functional but lacks transparency about how the tool behaves.

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?

The description is extremely concise - a single sentence that efficiently communicates the core purpose. There's no wasted language or unnecessary elaboration. It's front-loaded with the essential information.

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 tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what format the documentation is returned in, whether it's a full API reference or specific documentation type, or how the optional 'section' parameter works in practice. Given the sibling tools suggest more specialized documentation operations, this basic description leaves significant 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 100%, with both parameters well-documented in the schema. The description mentions 'latest or trunk version' which aligns with the 'version' parameter's enum, but adds no additional semantic context beyond what the schema provides. No information is given about what 'section' might refer to or examples of valid values.

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?

The description clearly states the action ('Get') and resource ('EDSS REST API documentation'), specifying it retrieves documentation for either 'latest' or 'trunk' version. It distinguishes from some siblings like 'analyze_edss_api_endpoints' or 'compare_documentation_versions' by focusing on retrieval, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'get_edss_documentation_enhanced' or 'download_edss_documentation'.

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 description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_edss_documentation_enhanced' or 'download_edss_documentation'. It mentions the version options but doesn't specify contexts for choosing 'latest' vs 'trunk' or when to use the optional 'section' parameter.

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