wafeq_units_of_measure_retrieve

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint false), so the bar is lower. The description adds the HTTP method and endpoint path ('GET /units-of-measure/{id}/') and repeats 'READ-ONLY,' but it does not disclose error behavior, authentication needs, or what happens for invalid IDs. No contradiction with 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 short and front-loaded with the READ-ONLY badge and endpoint, but it contains redundancy: 'Retrieve unit of measure' appears in the heading and is then restated as 'Endpoint for retrieving a single unit of measure.' The same idea is expressed three times across the description, so not every sentence earns its place.

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 read-only retrieval endpoint with one parameter, the description provides the essential purpose and endpoint. However, with no output schema and no mention of response contents or error behavior, it is only minimally complete. An agent can call it correctly based on the input schema, but would need to infer return semantics and failure modes.

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 0%, so the description bears more responsibility. The endpoint path '/units-of-measure/{id}/' implicitly communicates that 'id' is the identifier of the unit of measure to retrieve, which adds slight meaning beyond the bare schema property. However, it does not explicitly describe the id or explain where to obtain it.

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 the operation ('Retrieve unit of measure') and the specific resource ('Unit Of Measures'), and emphasizes 'a single unit of measure,' which distinguishes it from list or create siblings. The endpoint path 'GET /units-of-measure/{id}/' reinforces the exact action and resource.

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 implies usage: call this when you need to retrieve one specific unit of measure by ID. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer it over related siblings like list, create, or update, nor does it mention any alternatives or exclusions.

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