get_webhook

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Get' implies a read-only operation, but it doesn't specify whether authentication is required, what happens if the ID is invalid (e.g., error handling), or the format of the returned data. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its 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 is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose without unnecessary words. Every part of the sentence ('Get a webhook by ID') contributes directly to understanding the tool's function, making it appropriately sized and well-structured.

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 complexity (a read operation with one parameter), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects like error handling, authentication needs, or return format, which are crucial for an agent to use the tool effectively. The minimal description leaves too many contextual gaps.

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?

The description mentions 'by ID', which aligns with the single parameter 'webhook_id' in the schema. However, schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no details about the parameter. The description adds minimal semantics by indicating the parameter is an ID, but doesn't specify format, constraints, or examples, leaving the agent with incomplete information.

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 'Get a webhook by ID' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('webhook'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'fetch_webhooks' (plural) by specifying retrieval of a single webhook via ID. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with other webhook-related tools like 'create_webhook' or 'delete_webhook', though the verb 'Get' implies read-only retrieval.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention sibling tools like 'fetch_webhooks' for listing multiple webhooks or 'get_webhook' for retrieving a specific one by ID, nor does it specify prerequisites such as needing a valid webhook ID. Usage is implied by the name and description but not explicitly stated.

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