C2.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. However, the description adds no behavioral context beyond the endpoint and parameter, leaving the meaning and effect of the 'byResolution' operation undisclosed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and front-loaded, but the opening line 'Get By Resolution' is essentially a tautology and does not earn its place. The endpoint and argument list are useful, but the overall structure lacks substantive content.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Although the output schema exists and annotations cover safety, the description is incomplete for a tool with so many closely named siblings. It never explains what 'by resolution' means, what kind of items are returned, or why an agent would choose this endpoint over other library section queries.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description partially compensates by explaining section_id as 'the unique identifier of the library section.' This adds a little meaning beyond the schema's bare title 'Section Id,' though it does not clarify the resolution concept in the endpoint.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description says only 'Get By Resolution' and gives the endpoint, which restates the tool name without explaining what 'by resolution' means or what is returned. It does not distinguish this from the many other get_library_sections_by_section_id_* sibling tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool, what problem it solves, or when to prefer one of the many similar sibling tools. The endpoint and argument list imply usage but provide no context or exclusions.

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