Get track playback metadata

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully adds that no media is downloaded, clarifying this is a metadata-only operation, but says nothing about pagination, errors, or auth requirements beyond the 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?

A single short sentence that front-loads the returned fields and closes with the key exclusion. There is no filler and nothing to trim.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with an output schema documenting the return values and annotations covering safety, the description is nearly complete. Its only real gap is failing to position the tool against the near-identical tidal_get_track_audio_resolution sibling.

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%, so the description carries no information about track_id. The parameter name is largely self-evident for this tool, which keeps it at the baseline, but the description makes no attempt to document format, length limits, or accepted ID forms.

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?

States a specific verb and a clear set of returned fields (codec, quality, bit depth, sample rate), so an agent knows exactly what the tool produces. However it never distinguishes itself from the closely named sibling tidal_get_track_audio_resolution, leaving ambiguity about which one to pick.

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 says nothing about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as tidal_get_track_audio_resolution or tidal_get_track. The 'no media is downloaded' clause is a scoping clarification, not usage guidance, so any routing decision is left to inference.

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