get_public_card_tile

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

No annotations are present, so the description must carry the burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing behaviors such as authentication requirements (public implies none), what happens if the card is not a map, or any rate limits. Minimal disclosure.

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 sentence with no fluff, but it is underspecified. It could include more context without becoming verbose. Adequate but minimal.

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 complexity (4 parameters, nested object, no output schema, no annotations) and many siblings, the description is extremely incomplete. It lacks parameter explanations, return value description, and differentiation from similar 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%; the description provides no explanation for parameters (uuid, zoom, x, y). The description fails to add meaning beyond the schema, e.g., what uuid refers to, zoom level range, or coordinate meaning.

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 indicates this tool retrieves a map tile for a public card in Metabase, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like get_card_tile or get_card_map_tile.

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 vs. alternatives (e.g., get_card_tile for private cards, get_public_card for full card data). No exclusions or contexts provided.

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