get_ticket

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, and the description agrees by framing this as a read operation. Beyond annotations, it adds a useful behavioral detail: the response includes replies, which is material because there is no output schema.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word contributes to explaining what the tool does and what the response contains.

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?

For a one-parameter, read-only getter with annotations covering safety and side effects, this description is complete. The 'including its replies' clause compensates for the missing output schema, and no additional information is needed to invoke the tool 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on ticket_id. However, the parameter is self-explanatory, required, and the only input, so the schema title 'Ticket Id' plus the parameter name carry most of the meaning; the description adds little.

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 states a specific verb ('Get'), a clear resource ('full detail for one ticket'), and a meaningful scope ('including its replies'). This immediately distinguishes it from list_tickets (list vs. single) and list_ticket_replies (replies-only).

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 phrase 'for one ticket' gives clear context: this is the tool to use when you need the complete detail of a specific ticket plus its replies. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the single-ticket framing makes the intended scope unambiguous.

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