get_guests_guestid

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that by enumerating the returned fields (name, email, phone, available/upcoming points, booking IDs, account timestamps) in the absence of an output schema.

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?

Front-loaded with a clear Overview, but the four markdown sections contain heavy redundancy: the 'What You Get' items restate the Overview, and 'Quick Start' repeats the parameter guidance already in the schema. It is structured but longer than the information content justifies.

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?

With no output schema and a single fully-documented parameter, the description usefully fills the return-value gap by listing the profile fields, points, bookings, and account status. Annotations cover the safety semantics, so the tool is adequately specified, though sibling disambiguation is still missing.

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 100% for the single guestId parameter, so the schema already documents it as a numeric ID. The description only restates 'provide the guest ID in the URL path' without adding format, range, or error semantics, so baseline 3 applies.

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 a specific verb+resource: fetch a single guest by ID, plus what it returns (points, booking history, account status). However, it never distinguishes itself from the closely-named siblings get_guests_guestid_bookings, get_guests_guestid_loyalty_points, and get_guests_guestid_vouchers, which appear to expose overlapping data.

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 'When to Use' section lists scenarios (customer profiles, points lookup, booking history, support tickets) but these essentially restate the purpose rather than giving discriminating conditions. No alternatives are named and no exclusions are given, so an agent cannot tell from this text when to prefer the dedicated bookings or loyalty-points siblings over this call.

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