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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only fetch without side effects, but does not mention error handling, permissions, or what happens if the ID is not found. This is adequate for a simple tool but lacks comprehensive transparency.

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, with two sentences front-loaded with the purpose. It contains no fluff or unnecessary detail. However, it could be slightly more concise by integrating the example into the first sentence, but current form is effective.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter), the description covers the main purpose and output fields. Since an output schema exists, return values are not needed. It could mention error scenarios or permissions, but it is largely complete for a single-fetch tool.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the `classroom_id` parameter beyond mentioning 'by id'. The parameter is self-explanatory, but the description adds minimal value over the schema. It should at least specify the expected format or provide an example.

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 clearly states the verb 'Fetch' and the resource 'single classroom by id', and lists specific fields (capacity, age range, lead teacher). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like `list_classrooms` (list all) and `get_child` (different entity).

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 provides a concrete usage example ('what's the capacity and age range for classroom 33?'), giving clear context for when to use the tool. It does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the example implies its appropriate scenario.

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