Get a temporary track URL

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 meaningfully adds that the URL is 'temporary' and tied to 'the authenticated account', but omits expiry duration, rate limits, or streaming constraints that would matter for playback.

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 front-loaded sentence with zero filler; every clause (temporary, playback URL, TIDAL, authenticated account) carries information.

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?

An output schema exists, so return-value explanation is not required, and the tool is genuinely simple. Still, the undocumented track_id and lack of when-to-use context leave gaps for a tool whose output feeds a player.

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 never mentions track_id or its accepted format (e.g., TIDAL numeric ID vs. string). With a single undocumented required parameter, the description fails to compensate for the schema 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?

States a specific verb ('Return') and resource ('temporary playback URL'), which is clearly distinct from metadata siblings like tidal_get_track or tidal_get_track_playback_info. It does not, however, explicitly name or differentiate itself from those siblings, so it falls short of a 5.

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 the many related siblings (tidal_get_track, tidal_get_track_playback_info, tidal_get_video_url). The only implied usage cue is 'for the authenticated account', which hints at an auth prerequisite but gives no alternatives or exclusions.

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