aeo_get_claim

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It indicates a read operation and describes the not-found error, but lacks detail on side effects, authentication requirements, rate limits, or whether it modifies state. The bare minimum is covered.

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 a single concise sentence front-loaded with the action. It contains no redundant words, efficiently conveying the core purpose and error handling. However, it could be expanded without losing conciseness.

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?

Given no output schema and 0% schema coverage, the description should compensate with thorough details. It falls short: it does not describe the return value aside from 'claim object', nor does it explain the absolute necessity of origin. For a simple fetch tool, it is incomplete.

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%, so the description must explain parameters. It only implies that claim_id is used for identification, but does not clarify the origin parameter (URI format) or any constraints. The schema itself has no descriptions, leaving both parameters largely undefined for the agent.

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 tool extracts a single AEO claim by ID, specifying the verb 'extract' and the resource 'AEO claim'. It also distinguishes itself from siblings like aeo_fetch and aeo_inspect by focusing on retrieval by ID and mentioning error behavior with available claim IDs.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., aeo_fetch, aeo_inspect). There is no mention of prerequisites, contexts, or when not to use it. The description is purely functional.

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