export_public_document_card

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only says 'Export' with no details on what the tool returns (file content, URL?), side effects, or authentication requirements. The behavior is under-specified for a public-facing export tool.

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, clear sentence that efficiently states the primary function. However, it could include more essential details without excessive length, but as it stands, it is appropriately sized for a concise definition.

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 high complexity (nested parameters, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, many siblings), the description is severely incomplete. It omits crucial context such as export format options, response structure, and how to construct the input object.

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% as the parameter descriptions are minimal ('Export format' with no valid values). The tool description adds no additional meaning to the parameters, failing to clarify the relationship between uuid and card_id or the allowed export formats.

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 (Export) and resource (card from a publicly shared document in Metabase). However, it does not differentiate from many similar export siblings like export_public_card_query or export_public_dashcard_query, which also deal with public entities.

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 guidelines on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites (e.g., document must be publicly shared), export formats, or contrasting with other export tools. The description leaves the agent without decision-making context.

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