bear_context_fetch

Read-onlyIdempotent

Load full content of specific files from the context library by passing relative paths. Use after reading the index to fetch only relevant files.

Instructions

Load the full content of specific files from the context library. Pass relative paths like 'bear/arch-overview.md' or 'external/jira-ticket.md'. Use after reading the index to load only relevant files — never load everything.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, so safety is clear. Description adds that it loads 'full content' (not metadata) and warns against loading everything, giving scale context.

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?

Three sentences, no filler. Front-loaded with purpose, then usage guideline. Efficient and clear.

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?

No output schema, but description says 'full content' implying it returns file contents. Missing explicit format details (e.g., structured object vs plain text). Otherwise complete given annotations and schema coverage.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description already covers parameter meaning (relative paths) at 100% coverage. Description adds usage examples but no new semantic info beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states the tool loads full content of specific files from context library. Provides example paths. Distinguishes from sibling tools like bear_context_index (which lists files) and bear_context_search (which searches).

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says to use after reading the index and to load only relevant files, never everything. This tells the agent when and when not to use it, guiding selection among sibling tools.

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