baasix_get_schema

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It only restates what the name implies ('get schema') and does not describe the return value, read-only guarantee, required permissions, or behavior when the collection does not exist.

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 filler or redundancy. It states the action, the resource, and the scope in minimal words, which is ideal for quick agent scanning.

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 one-parameter read-only tool, the description is minimally sufficient to invoke it correctly. However, with no output schema, it does not explain what 'detailed schema information' actually contains (fields, indexes, types, etc.), leaving a clear gap in the agent's understanding of the expected result.

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 only parameter, 'collection', is fully described in the schema as 'Collection name', giving 100% schema description coverage. The description adds the word 'specific' but provides no additional format, example, or constraints beyond what the schema already states, so the baseline score 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 clearly states a specific action ('Get') and resource ('detailed schema information') scoped to 'a specific collection'. It distinguishes from the sibling baasix_list_schemas by emphasizing a single collection, though it does not explicitly name or contrast that sibling.

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 phrase 'for a specific collection' implies the tool should be used when a particular collection is already known, rather than when enumerating all schemas. However, it does not explicitly say when not to use it or suggest baasix_list_schemas for discovery of collections.

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