Addedv1.0.2May 4, 2026

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is fully covered without the description. The description adds one genuine behavioral fact — it returns null when the glossary is not found — which is useful error-path context beyond the annotations, but nothing about scoping or return shape.

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?

Two short sentences, both earning their place: the first states the action and resource, the second front-loads the not-found behavior. No filler or redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained, and the annotations cover the safety profile. The single required parameter is fully documented in the schema. The description is sufficient for a simple single-resource lookup, with only sibling routing left unstated.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%: the id parameter already documents its gls_* format, pattern, and example, plus the input schema enforces the pattern and required status. The description adds no format or constraint detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Retrieves a specific glossary by ID'. This clearly separates it from the collection-level siblings like list_glossaries, though it doesn't explicitly name the alternative tool it should be used instead of.

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?

Usage is implied by 'by ID' — the agent infers this is for fetching one known glossary rather than enumerating them. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no mention of when to prefer list_glossaries or get_glossary_counts, and no stated prerequisites for having a valid ID.

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