Conversion status

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety and determinism are covered. The description adds that the response includes status and amounts, but says nothing about behavior when the ID is unknown or about object relationships (e.g. preview_id linkage).

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 clause with no filler, and the return content (status, amounts) is front-loaded. It is efficient but borders on under-specification rather than tight prose.

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 simple single-resource read with full schema coverage, no output schema and strong read-only annotations, this is close to adequate. Still missing is a not-found/error note and any hint of how the returned ID relates to preview_conversion output.

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 coverage is 100% for the single required parameter, and the schema already documents conversion_id as the preview_id. The description adds no further parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 for a fully covered schema applies.

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 identifies the resource (a single conversion) and what it returns (status and amounts), which implicitly separates it from list_conversions. However, it is a noun phrase with no verb, so it reads as a label rather than a stated action, and it never explicitly says 'retrieve by ID'.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus list_conversions (fetch many) or preview_conversion/create_conversion. The singular noun hints at single-resource retrieval, but no alternative is named and no condition for selection is given.

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