get_sales_channel

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

With no annotations at all, the description must carry the full burden of disclosure. It does not state that this is a read-only operation, what happens if the channelId does not exist, or what fields a sales channel carries. Only the '(Holded API v2)' tag adds any context.

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?

One short sentence with the resource and lookup key front-loaded. The parenthetical API-version tag is minor but arguably earns its place for versioning context; there is no wasted prose.

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?

For a trivial single-parameter getter this is close to adequate, but with no annotations and no output schema the description should at least say it is a read-only lookup and what it returns. As it stands an agent knows the shape of the call but not the behavior or the response.

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% and the single channelId parameter is fully documented in-schema. The description adds nothing beyond 'by ID', so the 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?

Specific verb+resource: 'Get a specific sales channel by ID'. The word 'specific' distinguishes it from the sibling list_sales_channels, and 'by ID' clarifies the lookup style. Slight gap only in that siblings like get_product/get_contact follow the same pattern without further differentiation.

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 explicit statement of when to use this versus list_sales_channels or the create/update/delete siblings. The single-item fetch convention is implied by 'by ID' but never spelled out, and no prerequisites or error conditions are mentioned.

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