get_a_savedresponse

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds the endpoint path and reinforces the read-only nature, providing useful but not essential context beyond 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 extremely concise, using only one short sentence plus a supplementary line. It is well-structured with emoji and capitalization for quick scanning.

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 simple retrieval tool with one required parameter, no output schema, and comprehensive annotations, the description provides all necessary context: what it does, that it is read-only, and the endpoint.

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 schema already defines the 'id' parameter with a description. The description does not add any additional detail or context for the parameter.

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 'Retrieve a saved response', specifies the HTTP method 'GET', and emphasizes it is read-only and makes no changes. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_all_saved_responses' and 'update_a_saved_response'.

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 includes visual cues ('🟢 READ-ONLY') and explicit statements about not modifying data, which guide usage. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or reference alternative tools like 'list_all_saved_responses'.

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