Prices_Retrieveaprice

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or error handling (e.g., what happens if the price is not found). The minimal description fails to compensate for the lack of 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 very short (3 words), which is concise, but it is too minimal to be effective. It lacks structure and does not earn its place because it provides no useful information beyond 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?

The description is incomplete given the tool's context: no output schema, no required parameters, and no hints about how to retrieve a specific price. Sibling tools like 'Prices_Listallprices' suggest a related use case, but here the description provides no differentiation or completeness.

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 has 100% description coverage with a single optional parameter 'include' described as 'Query parameter: include', which adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The description does not explain how this parameter affects the retrieval.

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 'Retrieve a price' is clear but very minimal. It distinguishes from 'Prices_Listallprices' by being singular but does not specify how to identify the price (e.g., by ID). The verb 'retrieve' is specific, but the resource scope is ambiguous.

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 sibling tools like 'Prices_Listallprices' or others. There are no alternatives mentioned, nor any context on prerequisites or expected inputs.

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