get_bucket_object

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the prerequisite of bucket existence and provisioning, adding behavioral context. However, it does not describe error behavior, return format, or explicitly state that it is a non-destructive read operation (though 'retrieve' implies this).

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 two concise sentences with a useful note. No wasted words, front-loaded with the action.

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 tool has an output schema, so return values are covered. The description provides crucial prerequisites and resource scope, but lacks error handling details, alternative tool guidance, and parameter semantics. It is minimally adequate for a simple get operation but has gaps.

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 three parameters (neptune_json_path, bucket_name, key) beyond implicit references to the bucket and neptune.json config. The 'key' parameter is never clarified as the object identifier.

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 uses the specific verb 'Retrieve' with the resource 'object from a storage bucket resource for the current project'. It clearly states the primary action and scope, distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_bucket_files.

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 explicit prerequisites: the bucket must already exist in neptune.json and must be provisioned via 'provision_resources'. This gives clear context for when the tool can be used, though it does not mention alternatives or exclusions.

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