get_space

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Get' which implies a read-only operation, but does not explicitly state that it is read-only, nor does it describe what happens if the space does not exist, return format, or permission requirements. Given the lack of annotations, more transparency is expected.

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 concise sentence with the key verb and object front-loaded. There is zero redundant text, and every word 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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimal. However, without annotations, it should clarify its read-only nature and any error behavior. The description is adequate for basic invocation but lacks behavioral context that would be expected in the absence of annotations.

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 input schema covers 100% of parameters, and the only parameter (space_id) is already described as 'Space ID'. The description's phrase 'by ID' adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. With high schema coverage, a baseline 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 states a specific verb (Get), a resource (space), and the identifying parameter (by ID). This clearly distinguishes it from list_spaces (which retrieves multiple), and from create/update/delete operations. No ambiguity exists.

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 implies usage: when you know the space ID and need a single space. However, it does not explicitly contrast with list_spaces or mention when to prefer this over listing. For a simple getter, the context is somewhat self-evident from the purpose, but explicit routing to alternatives is absent.

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