profiles_get_profile

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states 'Get profile details' without disclosing read-only semantics, error behavior, required context (e.g., domain_name to disambiguate), or what the response contains. The presence of an output schema helps, but the description itself is silent on these aspects.

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 with no wasteful words. It delivers the core purpose efficiently, though it sacrifices useful context for brevity. It is appropriately sized for a simple get operation.

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 the presence of an output schema, return values are covered, but the tool is part of a large sibling set with many similar operations. The description lacks usage context, behavioral disclosure, and parameter elaboration, making it incomplete for an agent to confidently select and invoke the tool correctly.

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 the description adds no meaning to the parameters (profile_id, domain_name). The names are self-explanatory, but the description does not compensate for the lack of schema descriptions, leaving parameter semantics entirely to the agent's inference.

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 'Get profile details' clearly specifies the verb (get) and resource (profile details), making the tool's purpose obvious. While it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like profiles_search, the name and description together suggest a direct retrieval of a single profile.

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 such as profiles_search or profiles_update_profile. There is no mention of use cases, restrictions, or differences from sibling tools, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.

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