Get detailed information about a master spread

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesMaster spread name
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only says 'Get detailed information' without specifying what the detailed information includes (e.g., dimensions, items, properties), error conditions, or any side effects. The behavioral traits are opaque.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence with no filler. Every word is necessary for the core purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description should explain the return value to be complete. It lacks details on what 'detailed information' comprises, leaving the agent uninformed about the tool's output. For a simple one-parameter tool, this is a significant gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 100% coverage with one parameter 'name' described as 'Master spread name'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, achieving the baseline for high coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Get detailed information about a master spread' clearly states the action (get) and the resource (detailed information about a master spread). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_master_spreads (listing all) and create_master_spread (creation).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when a specific master spread name is known, but it provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_spread_info or list_master_spreads, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions.

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