write_project_get

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

Discloses the tool returns metadata, all characters, scene count, word count, and 5 recent scenes. No side effects or destructive behavior implied. For a read-only retrieval tool without annotations, this is transparent and adequate.

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?

Two concise sentences with no filler. The first sentence lists contents, the second provides usage guidance. All information is front-loaded and earns its place.

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 single-parameter retrieval tool with no output schema, the description fully covers purpose, returned data, and usage context. No additional details are needed for an agent to select and invoke it correctly.

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 description does not explain the projectId parameter beyond implying it identifies the project. With 0% schema coverage, the description should add details like format or constraints, which it omits.

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?

Clearly states the tool retrieves the full project state, listing specific components (metadata, characters, counts, recent scenes). Distinct from siblings like write_project_create or recall which focus on creation or memory.

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?

Explicitly advises 'Use to orient yourself when resuming work,' providing clear context for when to invoke. Does not mention when not to use or alternatives, but the guidance is helpful.

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