get_public_dashboard

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool gets a public dashboard but does not disclose behavioral traits like whether it is read-only (implied by 'get' but not explicit), error handling on invalid UUID, authentication requirements, or rate limits. The description is too sparse for full transparency.

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 of 8 words, delivering the core purpose without any filler. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource, making it highly efficient.

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 one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately states what the tool does but lacks details on return value format, error scenarios, or any additional context that would help an agent use it correctly. It is minimally viable but not fully complete.

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 tool has one parameter 'input' with a nested 'uuid' property. The schema provides a description 'Public sharing UUID' and a pattern for uuid. The tool description mentions 'by UUID', which aligns but adds no new information beyond the schema. Given 100% schema description coverage for the uuid property, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'publicly shared dashboard by UUID', making the tool's purpose clear. While it is distinct from siblings like get_public_dashboard_tile or get_public_dashboard_params, the description does not explicitly differentiate it, but the name and context suffice.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as other public dashboard tools or search tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, conditions, or scenarios where this tool is preferred.

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