get_event_display_settings

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

No annotations are present, so the description must convey behavior. The verb 'Get' implies a read-only operation, which is a useful signal, but it does not explicitly state that no modifications occur, nor does it describe error behavior or response structure. The description is minimal but not misleading.

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 a single, compact sentence with the key action and resource front-loaded. No unnecessary words or repetition; every part earns its place.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter) and the presence of an output schema (not shown), the description provides sufficient examples of what settings are covered. However, it lacks usage context and parameter clarification, making it not fully complete for an agent operating among many similar event tools.

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?

The input schema has 0% description coverage for the single parameter event_id. The description does not mention or explain this parameter, leaving the agent to infer that event_id is the identifier of the event. It adds no meaning beyond the schema's type and requirement.

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 the action (Get) and the resource (display settings for an event page), with concrete examples (show start/end time, show organizer info). It distinguishes from sibling tools like update_event_display_settings and get_event by specifying the exact aspect of the event.

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 such as get_event or update_event_display_settings. It does not mention prerequisites, nor does it say when this should be called (e.g., before editing settings).

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