get_doc

Read-onlyIdempotent

Access a specific Pine Script v6 documentation file using its path. Use limit and offset to manage token usage for large files.

Instructions

Read a specific Pine Script v6 documentation file.

For large files (ta.md, strategy.md, collections.md, drawing.md, general.md) prefer list_sections() + get_section() to avoid loading 1000-2800 line files into context.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYesRelative path to the documentation file (e.g., "reference/functions/ta.md")
limitNoMaximum characters to return. Use 30000 for large files to avoid token limits.
offsetNoCharacter offset to start reading from (default: 0)
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds context about large file handling but does not elaborate on other behavioral aspects like error handling or return format. Still, it adds value beyond annotations.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and no wasteful words. Every sentence adds essential information.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a read operation with no output schema, the description sufficiently explains what the tool does and how to use it effectively. It could mention the return format, but overall it is complete enough.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for path, limit, and offset. The description does not add further parameter details beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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?

The description clearly states the tool reads a Pine Script v6 documentation file, with a specific verb 'Read' and resource 'documentation file'. It distinguishes from siblings like list_sections() and get_section() by implying this is for the whole file.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly advises to prefer list_sections() + get_section() for large files to avoid loading 1000-2800 line files, providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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