usePatternFlyDocs

Get markdown documentation and JSON schemas for PatternFly components by providing a component name or a list of documentation URLs.

Instructions

Get markdown documentation and component JSON schemas for PatternFly resources and components.

  **Usage**:
    1. Input a component or resource name (e.g., "Button", "Writing") or a list of up to 15 documentation URLs at a time (typically from searchPatternFlyDocs results).

  **Returns**:
    - Markdown documentation
    - Component JSON schemas, if available

versionNoFilter results by a specific PatternFly version (e.g. "current", "latest", "v6")
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions that schemas are returned 'if available' but omits details like idempotency, error handling, rate limits, or what happens when both name and urlList are provided.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Very concise with clear structure: purpose, usage instructions, returns. Each sentence adds value with no redundancy. Front-loaded with the main action.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Adequately covers the two usage methods but lacks details on parameter interactions (e.g., exclusivity of name and urlList), error handling, and version parameter behavior. With no output schema, more return information would help.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description adds context by explaining the two usage modes and that urlList typically comes from searchPatternFlyDocs, and that name is a component or resource name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states the tool fetches markdown documentation and JSON schemas for PatternFly resources. Describes two input methods (name or URL list) and links to sibling tool searchPatternFlyDocs, distinguishing its role.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly describes two usage scenarios: providing a component name or a list of URLs from search results. Implies using searchPatternFlyDocs first, but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or alternatives.

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