docuseal_get_template

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Get detailed information' and does not state whether this is read-only (although the verb implies it), what exactly is returned, or any failure modes. This is a significant gap for a tool with zero annotation coverage.

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, front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word earns its place with no redundancy or unrelated detail.

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?

The tool is very simple with one parameter and no output schema, so the description doesn't need to explain return values. However, 'detailed information' is vague and does not specify what fields or depth of detail are included, leaving some ambiguity about the actual output and behavior.

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage with a clear description for template_id, so the schema already handles parameter meaning. The description adds no extra semantic value for the parameter beyond confirming it targets a specific template, so baseline 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 uses a specific verb 'Get' with a resource 'template' and qualifier 'detailed information' and 'specific', clearly distinguishing this from listing all templates or other actions. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools like docuseal_list_templates, so it stops short of a 5.

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 description implies use when a user needs full details for a single template identified by ID, as opposed to list_templates which gives an overview. But there is no explicit statement of when to use this versus alternatives, nor any exclusion criteria or prerequisites, so guidance is only implied.

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