Get item by id

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'including its field values' but fails to disclose that it is a read-only operation, potential error conditions (e.g., item not found), or any authorization requirements. The agent has no insight into side effects or safety.

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, concise sentence that efficiently conveys the core purpose. Every word is necessary, and there is no 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?

With no output schema, the description should explain the return value structure. It mentions 'including its field values' but does not describe what other fields are returned, the format of the response, or how the expand parameter alters the output. This leaves the agent without enough context to handle the response correctly.

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?

All parameters are already well-described in the input schema with 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as clarifying the expand parameter's effect or parameter relationships. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 action ('Get'), the resource ('a single item by id'), and includes that field values are returned. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like plaky_list_items, which retrieves multiple items, and plaky_get_item_file, which retrieves a file.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., plaky_list_items for multiple items), nor does it mention prerequisites or context like needing itemId, boardId, and spaceId to be known.

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