startup_script_get_startup_script_content

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It reveals smart identifier resolution (name or UUID) and says the return value is script content, but it does not disclose error behavior, permission requirements, output encoding, or whether content is returned whole or truncated. Acceptable but minimal for a read-only getter.

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 with clear 'Args' and 'Returns' sections, front-loaded purpose, and zero filler. Every sentence earns its place.

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 single-parameter getter with an output schema, the description provides enough to invoke the tool correctly: what the parameter accepts and what the return is. It lacks error context and selection guidance, but those overlap with other dimensions; overall it is complete for the tool's simplicity.

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 schema only defines script_identifier as a string with 0% description coverage. The description compensates by explaining that the identifier can be a script name or UUID, which adds meaningful semantic guidance beyond the raw schema type.

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 and resource: 'Get the content of a startup script.' The word 'content' clearly distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'startup_script_get_startup_script', which presumably returns metadata, though it does not 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 is given on when to use this tool versus related startup script tools such as list, get, create, or search. The note about smart identifier resolution concerns how to supply the argument, not when to choose this tool over alternatives, so usage context is missing.

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