meta_horizon_developer_read_operation

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It uses the word 'Read' to imply a safe, non-destructive operation, but it does not describe return formats, error handling, permissions, or side effects. This is minimal disclosure for a read operation.

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, front-loaded sentence with no superfluous words. It efficiently communicates the verb and object, scoring high on conciseness and structural clarity.

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 has no annotations, no output schema, and three undocumented parameters, the one-sentence description is insufficient for an agent to confidently select and invoke it. It does not explain key terms like 'aggregate Query' or 'redacted snapshot', nor does it describe how parameters interact with the tool's behavior.

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 schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explicitly explain the three required parameters (operation_name, app_id, snapshot_dir). It hints that 'aggregate Query' relates to the query name and 'latest redacted snapshot' relates to the snapshot source, but it fails to clarify formats or relationships, leaving the agent to infer from parameter names alone.

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 identifies the action ('Read') and the specific resource (a single allow-listed aggregate query from the latest redacted snapshot). It is concise and conveys the core function, though it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling tools like status or collect.

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 instead of alternatives. It does not mention scenarios, prerequisites, or context where this tool is preferred, leaving the agent without decision support.

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