get_lab

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

No annotations provided. Description mentions output content but does not disclose behavioral traits like read-only nature, side effects, or permissions required. The burden is on the description, but it insufficiently addresses behavior.

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?

Single sentence, no clutter, front-loaded with key information. Could be slightly more efficient but overall concise.

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?

Adequate for a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, but lacks behavioral transparency and parameter details. Sufficient but not comprehensive.

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?

Only one parameter 'id' with no schema description (0% coverage). The description implies id identifies a lab but adds no format or constraints beyond the schema.

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 it retrieves full detail for one lab, listing specific aspects (problem, decision, status, route). It distinguishes from siblings: list_labs (list) and search_decisions (search).

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?

Implied usage: use for detailed info on a single lab. No explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives, but sibling names provide context.

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