B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden; 'Get' reasonably conveys a read-only single-record retrieval. However, it says nothing about behavior on a missing/invalid ID, permission or auth requirements, or whether the full service object is returned, which is a real gap for a zero-annotation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One short, front-loaded sentence with the key qualifier ('specific ... by ID') in the first clause. The trailing '(Holded API v2)' is mild context rather than content, but it costs almost nothing.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter read tool with no output schema, the definition is minimally sufficient — an agent knows what to pass and roughly what it gets back. It is missing error/not-found behavior and any indication of response shape, which matters slightly more given there are no annotations to fall back on.

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 coverage is 100% but the only parameter description is the tautological 'Service ID'; the description's phrase 'by ID' adds no format, sourcing, or lookup guidance beyond the schema. With full coverage, baseline 3 applies even though the added value is nil.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ('Get a specific service') plus the lookup key ('by ID'), which implicitly separates it from list_services, update_service, and delete_service. It stops short of naming any sibling explicitly, so it is clear but not fully differentiated.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

'By ID' implies the precondition that you must already have a service identifier, which distinguishes it from list_services. There is no explicit when-to-use statement, no note about what to do when the ID is unknown, and no mention of alternatives.

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