Get Ops Trace

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds no extra behavioral context such as what happens if the trace is not found, what data is returned, or any prerequisites beyond the required id. Thus the description contributes little beyond the structured annotations.

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 short sentence that is efficient and front-loaded. It contains no fluff and communicates the core action directly.

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 simplicity of the tool (one required parameter, no output schema), the description is mostly adequate. However, it does not explain what an execution trace is or what the response will contain, which could leave an agent uncertain about how the result differs from other trace-related tools like lyzr_ops_get_trace_run or lyzr_get_trace_details.

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 coverage is 100% with a single trace_id parameter described as 'Trace id'. The description's phrase 'by id' adds no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents the parameter fully.

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 (Fetch), resource (execution trace), and scope (single, by id). It distinguishes itself from list/get-traces tools by specifying 'single', but it doesn't name any alternatives or mention related tools like lyzr_get_trace_details.

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?

Usage is implied: the agent needs a trace_id to fetch a single trace. However, no explicit guidance is given on when to use this tool versus the many related trace tools (e.g., lyzr_list_traces, lyzr_get_trace_summary, lyzr_ops_get_trace_run), so the decision is left to inference.

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