get_public_share_by_slug_download

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

The only behavioral signal is the GET method, which repeats what readOnlyHint already tells the agent. It adds no context about authentication, download payload characteristics, rate limits, or side effects, so it contributes nothing beyond the annotations.

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 compact and well organized: a one-line summary, the endpoint, and an Args section. It is not padded, though the opening phrase largely restates the tool name.

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 tool with an output schema and safety annotations, the endpoint and required argument are present. However, it does not explain what the download returns or why it is distinct from other public-share and download endpoints, so it is only minimally complete.

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?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description needed to define what the slug identifies and how to obtain it, but it only says 'slug: Path parameter,' which is already visible from the endpoint template. This leaves the one required parameter semantically undocumented.

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 leads with 'Get share download' and shows the full endpoint GET /public/share/{slug}/download, giving a clear verb and resource. It is distinct from cover and track sibling endpoints by operation, but it does not explicitly differentiate itself from those siblings.

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 text provides no guidance on when to choose this endpoint over related siblings like get_public_share_by_slug or get_public_share_by_slug_cover. It only restates the endpoint and path parameter; there are no prerequisites, exclusions, or alternatives mentioned.

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