retrieve_a_savedresponse

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

The description clearly states it is destructive and deletes data, which aligns with annotations (destructiveHint: true). However, the idempotentHint: true annotation is contradictory for a delete operation, and the description does not clarify this behavior.

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 includes an emoji and repeated information from annotations and schema. It is not concise due to the misleading name-discrepancy and redundant content.

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 one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description should at least resolve the name discrepancy and explain the return behavior or side effects. It fails to provide complete context for an agent to use the tool correctly.

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 clear parameter description ('ID of the saved response to remove'). The tool description does not add any extra semantic value beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 states 'Delete a saved response' while the tool name is 'retrieve_a_savedresponse', creating a misleading mismatch between purpose and name. This causes confusion about what the tool actually does.

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 instructs to 'Confirm with the user before calling' but does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternative delete tools. It fails to differentiate from siblings like 'delete_a_record' or 'update_a_saved_response'.

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