get_languageprofile_by_id

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering the safety profile. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the HTTP method and path, such as error behavior or return format, which is not disclosed.

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 very short and to the point, with 'Read LanguageProfile' front-loaded. It avoids unnecessary verbosity, though it could be slightly more informative without harming conciseness.

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 simple get-by-id tool with an output schema and safe annotations, the description is minimally adequate. However, it doesn't differentiate from list_languageprofile or mention any error conditions, making it slightly incomplete for an agent unfamiliar with the API.

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 description says 'id: Path parameter', which clarifies the parameter's location in the URL, a small addition over the schema. However, it doesn't explain that the id refers to a language profile ID, though the tool name implies it. With only one parameter and 0% schema coverage, the description adds minimal value.

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 clear verb ('Read') and resource ('LanguageProfile'), and the path includes the {id} placeholder, making it obvious this retrieves a single profile by ID. It distinguishes from list_languageprofile by implying a targeted fetch, though it doesn't explicitly name the sibling.

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 on when to use this vs alternatives. It doesn't mention that it should be used when a specific language profile ID is known, or that list_languageprofile is for retrieving all profiles. The agent is left to infer from the name and path.

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