Fetch one secret value for the current agent run

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

Annotations provide some base info (not read-only, not destructive). The description adds the HTTP method (POST) and authorization class, but does not clarify if the 'fetch' operation has side effects or permissions required beyond the auth class. The word 'Fetch' contrasts with POST, causing mild confusion.

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?

Very concise (2 sentences plus extra line). No wasted words, but the structure could be improved by separating purpose from technical details like HTTP method and auth class.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description is incomplete: it does not explain what the 'key' parameter is, how to obtain it, or what 'current agent run' means for parameter input. The tool has two parameters with insufficient coverage.

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 50%; only the body parameter is described briefly. The key parameter – critical for fetching a secret – is not described in either the schema or the description. The description adds no parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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 'Fetch one secret value for the current agent run', specifying the verb (Fetch), resource (secret value), and scope (current agent run). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like pc_get_agents_me_secrets that list secrets.

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 tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when-not to use it or direct to any sibling tool for listing secrets. The description is purely operational.

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