Get Space

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. However, the description adds no additional behavioral context such as what happens if the space ID is invalid, permission requirements, or return format. It does not contradict the annotations, and the bar is lower due to annotation coverage.

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, consisting of a one-sentence purpose and a minimal argument listing. It is front-loaded with the core functionality and contains no filler or redundant information.

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 single-parameter read operation, the description is adequate but not complete. It lacks explanation of the return value (since no output schema exists) and does not address edge cases like non-existent spaces. Given the low complexity and strong annotations, this is a reasonable but not exemplary score.

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%, meaning the schema provides no parameter descriptions. The description's 'Args' section repeats the parameter name and a vague 'Space ID', which adds little beyond the schema's title 'Space Id'. It fails to provide meaningful semantics like format, examples, or constraints.

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 'Get a space by its ID', which specifies the exact action and resource. It effectively distinguishes this from sibling tools like 'list_spaces' (which lists all spaces) and 'get_blogpost' (which fetches a different resource type).

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While it implies use when you have a specific space ID, it does not mention scenarios where other tools like 'list_spaces' or 'get_space_permissions' might be more appropriate, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.

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