Get catalog team

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds that it is a GET operation and the authorization class. With annotations covering the safety profile, the description adds minimal new behavioral context.

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 concise, with two short sentences. It front-loads the title and includes the HTTP method and path. However, the brevity sacrifices necessary detail, making it efficient but not sufficiently informative.

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 existence of an output schema and the tool being a simple read operation, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks context about the relationship to other catalog tools and does not explain what the response contains beyond implication.

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 'catalogId' parameter. It only mentions the path template. The parameter's purpose, format, or constraints are not clarified, which is a significant gap.

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 'Get catalog team', which is a clear verb+resource. The HTTP method and path are provided. However, it does not differentiate this tool from siblings like pc_get_teams_catalog (list) or pc_get_skills_catalog_by_catalog_id, so the purpose is clear but not distinct.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or comparison to sibling tools. The auth class is noted but does not help with usage decisions.

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