getTestRunTestParameter

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It only states that the tool returns a parameter, but discloses no behavioral traits such as required permissions, error behavior (e.g., if parameter not found), or any side effects. The description is too minimal to be transparent.

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 sentence with no fluff. It is appropriately concise for a simple retrieval operation, though it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing brevity.

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 lack of output schema, the description should hint at the return value structure or common fields. It does not address that. Additionally, the complexity is moderate due to multiple parameters and sibling tools, but the description remains incomplete for a full understanding.

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 coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a description. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for a schema-rich tool. However, it does not elaborate on parameter interactions or constraints beyond what the schema provides.

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 uses a specific verb 'Returns' and clearly identifies the resource 'specified Test Parameter for the specified Test Run'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'getTestRunTestParameters' by implying singular retrieval. The purpose is unmistakable.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool over alternatives. There are many sibling tools for test runs and test parameters, but the description offers no context about when to choose this specific retrieval or when to use other tools like getTestRunTestParameters (plural) or getTestRunTestParameterDefinition.

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