incident_inspect

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

No annotations provided; description does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, its safety profile, or any side effects. The verb 'inspect' implies read but not explicitly stated.

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?

Single sentence listing many fields; information dense but somewhat run-on. Could be more structured (e.g., bullets) for readability, but not overly verbose.

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?

No output schema exists; description compensates by listing return fields. However, it omits crucial usage context for parameters and behavioral traits, making it incomplete for correct invocation.

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% and description fails to explain the purpose of parameters 'url' and 'document_json'. Does not indicate how they are used or which is needed, leaving agents uninformed.

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 "Structured summary of an AI Incident Card" and enumerates specific fields (id, title, severity, etc.). Clearly identifies the resource and action, distinguishing from sibling tools like incident_fetch or incident_validate.

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 such as incident_fetch or incident_affected_walk. Missing context about prerequisites or suitable scenarios.

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